Re: [Evolution] Spell checking in Evolution using wrong language

2002-08-15 Thread Mertens Bram

Hi,

Open a compose new message window,
choose Edit  Properties,
open the miscellaneous tab,
the box Language in Spell Checking will probably be set to en (without
the quotes)
changes this to en_gb (again without the quotes)

Close the compose message window, your changes will take effect next
time you compose a message.

At least that's how I got behaviour to spell like behaviour and not
behavior...

doh!

I originally tried that, but altered it from 'en' to 'en_GB' instead to
try to match the LANG variable, if only I lower cased it instead.

[Evolution] Spell checking in Evolution using wrong language

2002-08-14 Thread Mark C

Hi, 

I'm currently running evolution-1.0.8-1.ximian.1.i386.rpm on RH 7.3  
I have noticed (ok, my spelling is that rubbish, that someone else 
pointed it out) that all my spelling corrections are in American, when 
they should be in English or British ( I reside in the united kingdom). 

The environment variable $LANG = en_GB.UTF.8 and on individual mails the
properties are listed as 'en' for the spelling. 
The OS was installed English/British (not sure what the installer asks 
for, but its one of those two) 

After some reading of man pages and web searching , I have found that 
gnome-spell (which evo uses) uses aspell for it checking. 

So as a test I ran aspell (manually from the command line) on some words
that I know have been spell checked as American and it corrects them 
correctly and only offers British suggestions. 

Is there a way that I can override evo at all? 

Mark
