1 INFORMATION ON THE PROVIDED DICTIONARIES
3 This word list package supports the following dialects of English:
6 British with "ise" spelling (en_GB-ise)
7 British with "ize" spelling (en_GB-ize)
10 In addition generic English (en) is supported which is a combination
13 For each dialect there is the option to either strip accents (for
14 example cafe) or keep them (for example café). The default is to
17 Combining these two options gives the following dictionaries.
30 in addition to the following aliases:
32 en_US = en_US-wo_accents
33 en_GB = en_GB-ise-wo_accents
34 en_GB-ise = en_GB-ise-wo_accents
35 en_GB-ize = en_GB-ize-wo_accents
36 en_GB-wo_accents = en_GB-ise-wo_accents
37 en_GB-w_accents = en_GB-ize-w_accents
38 en_CA = en_CA-wo_accents
46 If you are using Aspell 0.60 these aliases can be changed locally via
47 "dict-alias" option. For example if you prefer the "ize" spelling for
48 British English add the line:
50 add-dict-alias en_GB en_GB-ize
54 Great care has been taken so that that, for the most part, only one
55 spelling for any particular word is included in the main dictionary.
56 When two variants were considered equal I randomly picked one for
57 inclusion in the main word list. Unfortunately this means that my
58 choice in how to spell a word may not match your choice. For this
59 reason the following auxiliary dictionaries are provided:
69 These dictionaries are meant to be used in addition to one of the
70 standard dictionaries. To specify them use the "extra-dicts" option.
71 The "en_*-variant_0" dictionaries includes most variants which are
72 considered almost equal, "variant_1" includes variants which are
73 generally considered acceptable, and "variant_2" contains variants
74 which are seldom used and may not even be considered correct. It is
75 only necessary to use on of these dictionaries since, for example,
76 "en_US-variant_1" includes all the words in "en_US-variant_0".
79 UPGRADING FROM ASPELL6-EN-0.01
81 If you are upgrading from the aspell6-en-0.01 package you should do a
83 rm `aspell config dict-dir`/en[-_]*.alias
85 to remove any old alias. Otherwise aspell may get confused as this
86 version installs the alias with the ".multi" extension instead of
87 the ".alias" extension.
