(The concept of checking spelling in Japanese doesn't even make sense). Anyway, ispell checks the locale before choosing a dictionary, but when it discovers I have a Japanese setup, it quits. Is there a way to invoke ispell so that instead of quitting it'll use an English dictionary? As it is now, hitting M-$ gives me this: Loading newcomment...done Auto-saving...done Mark set Quit Auto-saving...done Loading ispell...done Starting new Ispell process... ispell-init-process: Error: No word lists can be found for the language "ja_JP". -- Barutan Seijin -- barutanseijin@gmail.com
