Could you give examples of things you would like to treat and we will try and explain how to treat them. In terms of Apertium we would suggest not using flag diacritics where possible, as it restricts the portability of your automata. Where is the code for your hunspell-based spellchecker ? I think Tommi might have some conversion scripts.
