Hi,
The spellchecker shows two odd behaviours when the language is not
recognized:
1) It pops up a Message dialog first that says something like:
| The ispell-process has died for some reason."One" possible reason
| [...see attachement for total text...]
(this Message dialog is too small for the text -- see attachement).
Closing this one, pops up another Message dialog that says:
| The spell checker has died for some reason.
| Maybe it has been killed.
The second message dialog is redundant, after the first one.
Closing the second Message dialog, does nevertheless pop up the
Spellchecker dialog, which, of course, is totally useless, because
the underlying spell program had died. I suggest to not open the
spell checker dialog when discovering that the spell program is
not working properly.
2) It's strange: LyX has so many gadgets in preferences and
document-layout to set the language(s) and spell programm, but
it fails to pass the correct flags to ispell when the language
is, for example, dutch.
The language naming is fixed per spell checker, so I strongly
recommend to extend LyX with a lookup table to solve this, e.g:
# language ispell aspell pspell
dutch, nederlands, nl, nederlands
Regards,
Rob.
