I write a lot of text in multiple languages and was getting tired of
constantly having to switch the dictionary of my spell-checker. In true Emacs
spirit, I decided to dust off my grandpa's parentheses and wrote some code to
address this problem. The result is ~guess-language-mode~, a minor mode for
Emacs that guesses the language of the current paragraph and then changes the
dictionary of ispell and the language settings of typo-mode. It also reruns
Flyspell on the current paragraph, [...]
Currently, the following languages are supported: Czech, Dansk, Dutch,
English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese,
Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish. It is very easy to add more languages and
this repository includes the necessary language statistics for 49 additional
languages. (These were copied from
