I am having a problem switching dictionaries from 'american', 'british' and
'canadian' English in pspell. Pspell seems to test everything against the
american dictionary for some reason. I tested aspell on command line and
worked fine if I supplied the dictionary I wanted to use with the –d option.
Below is some basic code I used to test this in php:
<?php
$string = "color";
$pspell_link = pspell_new("en", "canadian");
if (!pspell_check($pspell_link, $string)) {
$suggestions = pspell_suggest($pspell_link, $string);
foreach ($suggestions as $suggestion) {
echo "Possible spelling: $suggestion<br />";
}
} else {
echo "All good";
}
?>
The output was "All good" instead of a list of suggestions. Also, when I
tested the string "colour" with pspell_new("en", "american"); pspell
accepted the spelling…aspell on the other hand worked as expected in shell.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
