It will work for all apps that support multiple spell checking backends. I am not aware of any any application migrating to hunspell that would have chosen to support ONLY hunspell, nothing else. For more happy news, see the following for Mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364035 In fact, if you really want to support spell checking in your application and avoid the problem of dictionary maintenance, I suggest taking look at Enchant: http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/ This is the route that KDE 4 and quite many Gnome apps are taking. We support all of these, and additionally an ispell wrapper for the older apps that do not know about the more modern solutions. In practice only those applications that use Aspell exclusively are not currently supported by Voikko. Also, Finnish is not the only language that has to deal with this. Turkish spell checking works more or less the same way: http://code.google.com/p/zemberek/ Harri --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
