Within the hindi language tar file, you should find a large file that ends in letters ****.cwl (compressed word list) or ****.pz (prezipped word list). Some dictionary files contain more than one of those types of files. You will want to check that file (or files) for wrong words, but before you can read it (or them), you need to decompress it (them) into a format that you can read/understand. To decompress the file, go to the command line and use the prezip-bin utility like this (please substitute the ???? with the correct name of the compressed file): prezip-bin -d <????.cwl >hindiwordlist.txt or prezip-bin -d <????.pz >hindiwordlist.txt At this point, you have a decompressed text file "hindiwordlist.txt" Now with a text utility, take a look at the text file and see if you find the misspelt words within the wordlist. If you find the misspelt words in the wordlist, then that may be the cause of the wrong spelling because those words might not belong in there, and it would be recommended to let the authour of that particular dictionary know about the errors you found so that the wordlist can be properly updated. Another possibility is that they are words that really do belong, but they are rarely used, in which case they belong in a separate dictionary, sort of like keeping a common English dictionary and a rare-english dictionary.... or in Aspell terms, the common or rare english dictionaries would likely fit in the different "--size" options. Please check the README file within the hindi dictionary tar for the authour. There also appears to be an [aspell-dict-maintainers] list which may be more towards solving your problem. Please check here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/aspell-dict-maintainers/2006-03/index.html Hopefully that helps. _______________________________________________ Aspell-devel mailing list Aspell-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-devel
