Welcome To Mac Owners Support Group!
From our humble beginning as 'G5 Owners Support Group' back in 2004, Mac Owners Support Group--aka MacOSG--has become one of the world's fastest-growing online Apple User Groups, with a diversified array of members from all over the globe.

We invite you to come join us and participate in our forums. Have a problem with your Apple product? Simply search our vast database for answers, or post a question in our forums. Questions are usually answered in 24-hours or less by one or more of our Apple-knowledgeable members.

We also produce a weekly podcast where we give away books from our partner, O'Reilly Media. Simply listen to the podcast, and if your name is drawn, you have two weeks to claim the book of your choice!

Mac OS X 10.5: Changes in Thai user dictionaries from Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier

From Apple Support Articles:

"There have been changes in the way Thai user dictionaries are handled between Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier.

Mac OS X 10.5 does come with a built in Thai dictionary, however for those that use words that are not in the built-in dictionary (i.e., specialized vocabulary) the user dictionary facility allows users to supply their own word list to supplement the one built into the system.

In Mac OS X 10.5's built in dictionary functions, if you want the ability to add your own specialized Thai vocabulary, please follow these steps." Read more >>
