I think it's not the latest version. AFAIK, you can find the latest ES dictionaries for all locales here: http://forja.rediris.es/frs/?group_id=341&release_id=1000 es_ANY is a generic dictionary that's more or less useful for all locales, while the others are more specific. I know you did not ask for it, but anyway... the latest ES thesaurus dictionary is here: http://openthes-es.berlios.de/ > - Are you happy with the current situation or do you need an update / > multiple dictionaries / whatever? :) That's a difficult question that needs some debate, I think. The "worst" part of the dictionary is the lack of some compound words: it is quite common on Spanish (as on the other Latin languages) to "attach" articles to the word they are modifying, and the actual dictionary gives warnings on perfectly valid compound words... if you use the Spanish version of the dummy text autotext you will see several words underlined in red, but all of them are correct. AFAIK (if I'm wrong, which is probable, please someone correct me), the spell check engine used support the separation on "stems" and "modifiers" to build compound words, but I think the Spanish dictionaries are not updated to use that yet.
