I, so far, did not manage to use hunspell with emacs. After reading a lot on the internet, inter alia emacs-wiki and stackexchange and trying out different recipes, still no success.
My latest effort in .emacs: (with-eval-after-load "ispell" (setq ispell-program-name "hunspell") (setq ispell-dictionary "af_ZA") ;; ispell-set-spellchecker-params has to be called ;; before ispell-hunspell-add-multi-dic will work (ispell-set-spellchecker-params) (ispell-hunspell-add-multi-dic "af_ZA,en_ZA")) (setq ispell-program-name (executable-find "hunspell") ispell-dictionary "af_ZA") produces the following error message when trying to use the spell process: ispell-get-decoded-string: No data for dictionary "af_ZA" in ‘ispell-local-dictionary-alist’ or ‘ispell-dictionary-alist’ >From what I have read emacs (1:26.1+1-3.2) should just work with hunspell even if you just set the last two lines of the above configuration. However, it does not seem to pick up the dictionaries. How do I get it to work? Regards Johann -- Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. (Psalm 63:3)
