[Aspell-user] German context sensitive case sensitive spelling

[Borislav Petkov]

Hi list,

   i've been trying to spellcheck german text with aspell through the 
   Text::Aspell perl module and am having difficulties figuring out how to 
   tell aspell to choose the correct capitalization of certain German words
   depending on their position in the sentence.

   Certain German word classes are written in lowercase but, when used at the
   beginning of a sentence, they are capitalized. For example, the preposition
   "gegen" (eng. against) is lowercase but when a sentence starts with it, it is
   written "Gegen" (hm, doh :)). So my question is, can I do this with aspell at
   all or should I convert everything to lowercase and then spellcheck (which is
    NOT an acceptable solution at all but seems to work even if it is more
    hassle)? The problem is that both the lowercase and the capitalized version
   are to be found in the dictionary file.

   (p.s. Please cc me since I'm not on the list.)
