For what it is worth, I have about 15 ispell dictionaries installed on my
(self-compiled) system. They are of course only compiled for little endian
systems (Linux ix86), but if anybody is interested, I could upload them
somewhere.
If only we had a language drop-down menu where I could select the language
dictionary on a document level, and that would automatically scan my
system for available ispell dictionaries... How far away are we from that,
and can I offer any help on this?
Thanks,
Frodo
