I just did. Running aspell-find-dictionaries as defined below solves
my problem. It replaces the value of ispell-dictionary-alist with
information gathered from aspell.
This function should be called automatically somewhere, but it's not
clear to me where. And the menu should be updated - now it uses the
value of ispell-dictionary-alist defined at startup.
My code specifies UTF-8 as the encoding to use for all communications
with aspell. This is very convenient for the programmer, but will
fail in these cases:
* Some code passes a word to spellcheck on the command line, as
opposed to through stdin. (aspell will interpret it according to
the current locale.) I haven't checked for this thoroughly.
* Some language supported by aspell can't be encoded in UTF-8. Seems
unlikely to me.
* aspell is compiled without UTF-8 support. Its README file says that
the prerequisites are lib{n,}cursesw and the mblen function, which
should be present on any modern GNU system, and many others.
And I need to assign the copyright for this to the FSF, I guess.
