Dictionaries for International Ispell Many people have contributed dictionaries and affix files to allow ispell to be used with their native languages. These are listed below. Unlike the languages/Where file in the distribution, this list includes only dictionaries that are actually intended for use with ispell. Some of the affix files distributed with ispell are identical to or are based on the affix files at the ftp sites listed below. Older affix files from some of these sites will require changes to the defstringtype and altstringtype statements to specify a deformatter before they will work with ispell 3.1. This is done by adding a new quoted string, "TeX" or "nroff" , after the first quoted string in the statement. Sites that use large numbers of affixes, or that use ISO Latin-1 character sets, will usually get better results by using Martin Boyer's perl-based version of munchlist rather than the one distributed with ispell. Please do not write me asking where to find dictionaries that are not listed on this page. Everything I know is posted here. On the other hand, if you find an error or broken link in the page, or if you know of a dictionary that is not listed, please do send mail to geoff@cs.hmc.edu | |
