Thanks for valuable information. I have built up an Afrikaans ispell
dictionary which I can use with Lyx and from the command prompt, but
M-x ispell-change-dictionary from emacs or xemacs does not work. (X)emacs
reports: "no match".
Is that an emacs problem or an ispell problem?
Xemacs offers the following options for a choice of a dictionary:
american default english francais7 nederlands8 svenska8
british deutsch francais italiano norsk
dansk deutsch8 francais-tex nederlands svenska
Will it help if I recompile ispell with an afrikaans option?
