How to configure aspell to check multiple languages in same document? I tried using en & ml, and failed.
I am aware of the multi dictionaries, but a query in another mailing list tried me to make this. The operating system is Debian, testing, default configuration, aspell version 0.60.6 from experimental. This what I tried. Strategy 1. 1. created an entry in $HOME/.aspell.conf:- single line with master custom.multi 2. Created "custom.multi in /usr/lib/aspell/ with the following two lines:- add en.multi add ml.multi This failed. So, switched to strategy 2. Strategy 2:- In $HOME/.aspell.conf, extra-dicts ml.multi extra-dicts en.multi Tried either one, or both. But things fail - if the entry points to only one of en.multi or ml.multi, things go fine, but words in only one language are checked at one point of time. I tried this both from the command line (aspell --check foo.txt) and from within gedit. (where I had tried creating en_IN.multi instead of custom.multi - here I get "English (India) as an option, but Malayalam words are not checked and there is some error about either not being able to select default language or find the Malayalam dictionary). What am I doing wrong? Probably, I can edit one of the *.multi files already in /usr/lib/aspell, but that is really not a solution - since from a sysadmin PoV, I want either a user specific configuration in the user's home directory, or a system wide cofniguration which does not involve modification of distro installed files. -- Mahesh T.
