Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Kile would rock even more than it now already does if the spell checker can make use of the LaTeX babel commands. These commands are used for splitting rules, special characters, and maybe more things. But also the spell checker can make use of them... Firstly you've the \usepackage[language1,language2]{babel} command in the preamble. LaTeX use this command to load the needed language stuff to compile the file. But also the spell checker can make use of it: it can be used to determine which spell lib(s) should be loaded. Secondly you've the \selectlanguage{language} command. LaTeX use this to indicate a language change in the document. The spell checker can use this to see which spell lib is needed to check this part. This wish has 2 advantages: o You don't need to configure the spell lib anymore. o You can check automagically the spelling from multi language documents in no time. See also at http://hex.lspace.org/leo/thesis/tips/multiple-languages.html for information about these commands.
Sounds interesting. I will see if I can find someone to implement this (I don't have time in the coming months). best, Jeroen
The new spell checking libraries will (in a way) support multi-lingual documents. However, if I'm correct this will only be available from KDE 3.3.x. best, Jeroen
So it works now in cvs???
Well, you can switch to another dictionary while running the spell checker (you don't have to restart the spell checker anymore). So you can switch from, say German to French on the fly. However it doesn't happen automatically. Thus the wish is not implemented, but the situation has improved a little. best, Jeroen
Closing this bug (it has been open too long without any action). best, Jeroen
bad :'-( ...it would have been a very useful feature.
I do agree with you, but you know, time ... best, Jeroen
> 20:55 ------- I do agree with you, but you know, time ... Why did you close it then? There might be others reading an unfixed bug...
Well, nothing happened since 2003-09-01 ... Nobody came along until then. For me it is not practical to have many bug reports open I know I won't fix. I'm sorry about that, and you are right about it, but if somebody comes along and wants to work on Kile then I know several other bugs that need to be fixed first. I know it is not fair and all ... best, Jeroen
Hello, I use xelatex and I don't have either \usepackage[language1,language2]{babel} in preable, or \selectlanguage{language} in main text. When I set the speller to use a non-english dictionary then when I check the text it stops at all latex commands (i.e \section) Also, I can not find a way to have inline spell checking Regards, snvv
