It was my understanding that language selection was passed to aspell (not ispell) by --lang=$CODE,

I've dug deeper into the docs and it appears that aspell understands --lang=$CODE where $CODE is the same format as the LANG environment variable (in fact it uses the contents of LANG if --lang is not specified). However there seems no easy way of determining which languages are supported on a machine because the dictionaries do not use the ISO code as their name.

That's why I suggest the determination be left up to the administrator, who can
discern which dictionaries are installed and write a config file appropriately.
Then it doesn't matter what the name of the dictionary is, because its location
or language code is entered to a file with a title for that language. Ex:

(For Ispell):

Catalan /usr/pkg/lib/catala.hash Spanish /usr/pkg/lib/castellano.hash

(For Aspell):

Catalan ca Spanish es

I can see why you'd like this to be totally automated and built at build time by
configure, Makefiles, patches, etc. However it does seem a bit more work than
just allowing a human to do it.

I'm not familiar with how qmailadmin does its language templates,

See my previous post. The translations are in plain text files which contain lines of the form "014 Username", "015 Password". The html templates have things like "#014" which gets substituted with the appropriate string from the appropriate language file.

Sorry, by "familiar", I meant "never used it". It's makes sense on paper...

but I know the ones for Sympa seem to work well.

I'm not familiar with that. Maybe it's better suited to sqwebmail than the qmailadmin way of doing things.

http://www.sympa.org/howtotranslate.html

Seems that if one followed those instructions the templates would be built
automagically? Is this correct Sympa folk? I'm not sure if the qmailadmin or
sympa way of doing things is better; they both seem to work and have their
merits. I guess that would be up to Sam to decide...should we further analyze
both methods...bring in more discussion from qmailadmin and sympa teams...?
