Hm, I don't see the symlinks for UTF-8. Anyways, such an approach with symlinks would not really solve the problem. Since the files in question appear to be only used internally by ispell, it should not be difficult to recode the filenames in UTF-8; the only program that would have to be changed is ispell. Also, inorwegian seems to have scripts which assume an ISO-8859-1 environment: Setting up inorwegian (2.0-9) ... Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected end of string) at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Client/ConfModule.pm line 125, <STDIN> line 8.
