Well we still use ispell as default!

I didn't notice! Would you like that I change frenchc back to canadien?

We really need this:
- language to spellcheck for ispell (we have it now already for aspell with
the language/country-code)
- language how it is called in babel (empty if not yet supported in babel or
the nearest approximation f.ex. canadian -> english, canadien -> french)
So I guess the only thing missing is the babel-approximations for languages
not yet supported by babel (as for ispell you always can link the dictionary
you want to the right name as we do f.ex. for italian -> italiano!
Jean-Marc you are more handy with the babel code could you have a look,
I will insert you another field babel in the Language.[Ch] files if you
cannot do that yourself.

P.S.: I also have finally seen that Dekel was right ( *sight* it's hard to
admit ;) regarding the "default" language. We should really remove it
as otherwise we have problems with multilanguage documents as
\selectlanguage does not know the "default" language and so gives
errors when changing from a different char/paragraph language to the
document language if it was "default"! All we need is to be able to
set a default language in lyxrc (and preferences-layout) and os this
is used if set and we set "english" as default.
