What is elpa-auto-dictionary

elpa-auto-dictionary is:

Auto-dictionary is a minor mode that hooks into Flyspell’s on-the-fly spell checking and extends these checks to also detect language. Auto-dictionary then sets ‘ispell-dictionary’ to use the detected language. This package is useful for bilingual and multilingual Emacs users.

Language detection is per buffer (per document), and auto-dictionary will choose the language whose words appear most frequently in a document. If that document also contains a second language, and then the document is edited until there are a greater number of words from the second language, then auto-dictionary will choose the second language. That is to say, auto-dictionary’s pick always depends on the current state of the document, and it will only pick one language. This package does not enable multiple dictionary support for Emacs ispell.

Auto-dictionary supports the following languages:

  • ca - Catalan
  • da - Dansk (Danish)
  • de - Deutsch (German)
  • el - ??? ???????? (Modern Greek)
  • en - English
  • eo - Esperanto
  • es - Espa?ol (Spanish)
  • fr - Fran?ais (French)
