Needed to first read the whole thread (gmail decided to tag part of it as spam) and refresh my lisp a bit, I am currently busy with other things and am less responsive. I have also run some tests with it, and seems to work very well regarding dictionary selection. Did not check actual spellchecking (Checked with an old 24.4.1 where at least a function is not available, but could at least check that lists of available dictionaries) Best regards, -- Agustin
