What I can tell is that the spell checking for non-English dictionaries
does not work on win32, that is my platataform. I have just copied the
hash file, and it did not work.
I understand from your message that the non-English dictionary support
is not working for non-Unix builds on 0.7.12. Correct?
Thanks,
Jordi,
