If so, how does it know about it? If not, presumably Emacs translates the name into one that aspell understands? Recent versions of Enchant are no longer strict about the format of the language/dictionary name, so "castellano" would be perfectly valid, it's just that Enchant would typically not be able to find a dictionary of that name. -- https://rrt.sc3d.org
