Patches welcome :) As stated in my email from march 24th: Why wishlist? The purpose of a dictionary is to contain valid words. file is not a valid German word. I am not requesting a new feature! Severity of a bug does not imply difficulty of fix. Users need to be aware that they cannot rely (completely) on the German aspell dictionary as reviews are currently impossible (if I understood you correctly). Thus raising severity.

Patches welcome :) I just started out with aspell, hence I probably cannot help you right now, but is it at least possible to remove wrong words?

We were thinking about building aspell-de from the igerman98 source, but so far no one got around to as the Makefiles there are somewhat complex (or rather contain apell rules which were not really up to date last time I checked).

Bug#415985: aspell-de: Skips non German
Package: aspell-de Version: 0.60-20030222-1-6 Severity: important Mostly I use ispell, for which I updated the word list with the maintainer to purge non-German words with perfectly fine German equivalents during the development of Etch. Now I was asked to try out aspell and find that it seems to accept non-German words as well. In ispell there was a word list containing "technical terms" which I went through with the maintainer. Is there something similar for aspell? Example I noticed: File -> Datei -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.19.2-grsec-cz01 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages aspell-de depends on: ii aspell0.60.4-4 GNU Aspell spell-checker ii dictionaries-common 0.70.10Common utilities for spelling dict aspell-de recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature
