Hi, Did not mention that I could never reproduce that. I tried again with an extremely simple emacs-test.el containing only (setq ispell-program-name "enchant-2"), $ emacs -q -l emacs-test.el & >From the Messages buffer I run ^$ on "Emacs" string to spellcheck it. Everything seems to work as expected. The only remarkable thing is that enchant process seems to take a bit long to start. ... Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el (source)...

Things like castellano8 are the traditional emacsen names for some entries, defined in ispell.el function `ispell-dictionary-base-alist'. You may expect documents setting language to one of those entries, and is good if they get the right result. Regards, -- Agustin
