Yes, DEU is the default, because this is the Windows default for Germany. > It works! :-) Good. > So I went on and added the German dictionary to my init.el: > > (setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist > '(("en_GB" > "[[:alpha:]]" > "[^[:alpha:]]" "[']" nil > ("-r") nil utf-8) > ("de_DE_frami" > "[a-zäöüßA-ZÄÖÜ]" "[^a-zäöüßA-ZÄÖÜ]" "[']" nil > ("-r") nil utf-8))) > > I can change to the German dictionary but after checking some word (word by > word, which worded > fine) I got this error while checking the whole text with M-x ispell: > Ispell misalignment: word `Einf\303' point 118; probably incompatible versions > > It has a Problem with the word "Einführung". I guess the "ü" is the problem. Yes, the problem is most likely incompatible encoding. Did you type "M-x ispell-change-dictionary RET de_DE_frami RET" to change to this dictionary? Also, where did you get the de_DE_frami dictionary? And how exactly is hunspell invoked for this dictionary after you invoke ispell-change-dictionary as above (look in Process Explorer or some equivalent)?
