I am using TeXnicCenter for writing LaTeX documents. Unfortunately, when I am writing in Finnish as I usually do, there is no spell checker in Finnish in TeXnicCenter. All the lines are underlined in red, and this is not nice. I know that there is Voikko for Finnish spell checking in LibreOffice, but is it possible to apply Voikko for TeXnicCenter? TeXnicCenter is using Hunspell; I downloaded the voikko-laaja.oxt file but I could not find in this package any files with .aff and .dic suffices.

Have you found a finnish dictionary (.dic and .aff) for tex editors?– remusCommented Mar 31, 2015 at 11:14

2People, this question is not a duplicate! Unfortunately there are no .dic and .aff for Finnish because the format is not compatible with the language. I think switching to another editor would be the solution - an editor that relies on a different spell checking system.– remusCommented Apr 1, 2015 at 18:39

1There is spell-fi.sourceforge.net for Finnish to get .dic and .aff files and like you said Voikko voikko.puimula.org– OniCommented Jul 5, 2019 at 15:48

The file type .oxt is an archive. So:
- Open the file
<filename>.oxtusing 7-Zip; - Locate the appropriate
.dicand.afffiles inside the archive. Typically they are called<lang>_<dialect>.dicand<lang>_<dialect>.aff; Copy these files to
C:\Program Files\TeXnicCenter\Dictionaries
Note that the naming convention is strict. So, if your files have the format
<lang>-<dialect>, rename them to<lang>_<dialect>.- (Re)start TeXnicCenter;
Identify the new language/dialect from the Tools > Options... > Spelling menu:

1I downvoted your answer because, as the question text says, there is no .dic nor .aff file in the .oxt archive for Finnish.– remusCommented Mar 31, 2015 at 11:10
