Emacs and auctex, spell checking

Emacs and auctex, spell checking

[Jens Prüfer]

Hello yet again,

Eamcs 21.3.1 + auctex 11.13-2 are using ispell to check for correct
spelling. However, I am writing german using plain "Umlaut" characters.
Whenever I call "spell", ispell stops at all accented chars taking it for
the end of word delimiter. So the word "Hyäne" gets checked as "Hy" and
"ne", which both make no sense. I know how to call ispell from the bash
using 

ispell -tC -w "äöüßÄÖÜ"

but how do I teach Emacs about that? Are there better ways for 8 bit char
awareness of ispell?

Cheers

Jens

Just switch to an 8bit dictionary like deutsch8 or so.
