Package: ispell Version: 3.1.20.0-4.4 Severity: important Tags: l10n Hello,
Currently the dictionaries are encoded in e.g. latin1, but some people may want to use utf-8 in their texts (and it is actually now the default in Debian). Ispell, just like aspell does, should hence automatically transcode betwen the charset of the text to the charset of the dictionary. The charset of the text should be by default the charset of the locale, which can be obtained by setlocale(LC_ALL,""); charset = nl_langinfo(CODESET); and one should be able to override that from the command line.
