Thank you. I'll incorporate it in my table and make a build for it.
Btw, Shouldn't this be added to the table in ispell_checker.cpp aswell?

Ohh, I see.
I'll correct this in my builds (change the hash-file name to
catala.hash). But the table in ispell_checker.cpp also needs to be
changed. Right now, it refers to catalan.hash.

Probably, yes.

Thank your. Glad to hear that you like it.
So, I'm gonna do the changes in my script right away and make new
builds. They'll be on my ftp in 20min
(ftp://abi:abi@flintv097.sn.umu.se).
And I would be really glad if someone could do those small corrections
in the table in ispell_checker.cpp? (catalan.hash > catala.hash,
dutch96.hash > nederlands.hash and maybe we should add Esparanto to,
what do you say?)
Take care
