Package: wspanish
Version: 1.0.19
Severity: wishlist

/usr/share/dict/spanish is encoded as ISO-8859. Since Debian's default
encoding is UTF-8, I believe the dictionary files should also be encoded
with it.
Currently it is awkward since I can't grep for words in a UTF-8
environment:

$ grep '^tumefacc' /usr/share/dict/spanish
tumefacci�n
$ grep '^tumefacci.n' /usr/share/dict/spanish
$
