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.
