[Aspell-user] Polish dictionary problems, Win32 version

[Lester Vanhoff]

I know that nowadays Aspell is basically Linux only application, but 
if someone here still runs the Windows version I would appreciate 
some help.

System info:

Windows XP SP3
PC language settings:
 - English w US keyboard or Polish w Programmers keyboard
Aspell v0.50.3 alpha

I have installed Polish Dictionary (Windows version)
"aspell-pl-0.50-2-3.exe" from this page:

http://aspell.net/win32/

and it doesn't work properly. At the same time, my Canadian English 
dictionary works like a charm. Everything seems to be installed 
properly:

File "pl.dat" points to the proper character set (Central European):

-----
# Generated with Aspell Dicts "proc" script version 0.50.1
name pl
charset iso8859-2
soundslike none
-----

To run Aspell from a text editor, the following batch file is used:

F:\Aspell\bin\aspell.exe -c -e --lang=pl -x %1

The equivalent Canadian English version is:

F:\Aspell\bin\aspell.exe -c -e --lang=en_CA -x %1

Below is a sample list of Polish words (all correctly spelled). Both 
UTF-8 and Unicode versions are attached, just in case:

Here is what I get when I run Aspell.

1) As it scans English text at the beginning of the list, it tries to 
suggest Polish replacements, which is just fine. At the same time, 
however, it makes a complete mess of all the Polish words further 
down on the list:

2) When the scan gets to Polish words, the things don't get any 
better:

I'm surprised that after spending quite a while googling around, I 
haven't found anyone else experiencing this kind of a problem.

Tnx
