Title:
in an UTF-8 environment, aspell spell-checking does not work for
languages like portuguese
Status in emacs23 package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: emacs23
when activating spell-checking via aspell and choosing a dictionary
like "brasileiro", words with letters like "ç" (c-cedilla) are not
correctly recognized; in flyspell-mode, it appears that emacs uses the
"unknown" characters as word boundaries. The problem has probably to
do with 1) not passing the charcater set correctly to the aspell
process (aspell *can* check texts in UTF-8 when called from the
command line and 2) the setting of ispell-dictionary-alist etc., where
iso-8859-1 is hard-coded as character set for most non-english
languages.
