Good morning,
After I erased an accidentaly inserted word in my custom dictionary, the "Add to Dictionary" feature (right mouse click on red underlined word in the target segment) is grayed out!

I cannot figure out what happened. Could someone please help?
Thanks!

Which spellchecker are your referring to? Sep 3, 2010

You do not specify which application you refer to. Do you mean Word's spellchecker or the inbuilt spellchecker of Studio 2009.

In both cases, you probably don't have any user dictionary file for that language, so check whether the user dictionary exists.

The same problem Feb 9, 2011

I have the same problem with the inbuilt Trados 2009 spellchecker. I also use several customized dictionaries for Serbian language.

Can anyone help?

For Studio: check the settings of Custom Dicitionaries Feb 9, 2011

Maybe the connection there is broken or something different happened.
You can also add another custom dictionary, maybe the previous one is full (happens in Word).
Go to Tools - Options - Editor - Spelling

Set CUSTOM.dic to default Dec 19, 2011

This is an old thread, but to anyone still experiencing this problem, my daughter found this workaround:

Go into Tools>Options... and click on "Custom Dictionaries..."

A Custom Dictionaries window should pop up. You would probably have only one dictionary in the list, CUSTOM.dic

Click on it, and click on Change Default. That should set that dictionary to be the default, and you can add words to it again.

Svetlana's workaround worked for me Jan 25, 2017

I had the same issue: I had tried to make some changes to the custom dictionary, and afterwards the Add to Dictionary button was greyed out. I've followed the instructions in Svetlana's workaround, and it seems to be working again. Thanks for sharing the tip!
