That makes sense, in that case it's a feature and not a bug :-) We should send a PR to upstream to make this more explicit in their README.md.

Yeah, that also definitely justifies it's place in Debian, even if guess-lang is eventually added. Available to sponsor here: git clone https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/auto-dictionary-mode.git Or from here: dget https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/auto-dictionary-mode/auto-dictionary-mode_1.1-1.dsc # https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/auto-dictionary-mode/auto-dictionary-mode_1.1-1.dsc If you prefer a formal RFS say the word, though I'd prefer to be lazy about this :-p Regards, Nicholas
