Yes, as we mention before, this is a problem. We can localise AbiWord in
many languages, but if we cannot make the spell ckecker work many people
will not use it. As you know, for end users, spell checking is an important
feature, specially here in Europe where is common to work with three or
four different languages every day and you trend to mix up words and
spellings.
Thanks,
Jordi,
