A New Algorithm to Design and Implementation of Multilingual Spellchecker and Corrector

Abstract

With the automatic or manual growths of text, the necessity of spell checking and correction have been increased. In spite of the availability of many algorithms for this purpose, there is no algorithm can be used as multilingual spell checker and corrector. Those algorithms are language–features oriented.This paper produced a new algorithm which depends on letters frequencies, weight of the letters and likeness measurements between the misspelled word and the candidates word.This algorithm was used to design a spellchecker and corrector for Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and German to prove its powerful implementation of multilingual spellchecker.
