Ispell in Portuguese Don't put anything here Don't put anything here Don't put anything here Don't put anything here Page Content Don't put anything here Page Name (for URL) Page Title Breadcrumb Text I finally got ispell spell-checking Portuguese for me. This only took a few hours and involved: * Finding Portuguese dictionaries (easy) * Figuring out that I need to run "buildhash" on it which I didn't have. * Trying to use buildhash on a different machine and move the files over - bad idea. * Finding ispell source and trying to compile it in order to get "buildhash," discovering that it requires [Yacc](http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacc), which I didn't have. * Failing to find yacc for fedora but installing [bison](http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/bison.html) instead. * Compiling ispell in a semi-manual way using bison instead of yacc. * Discovering that ispell doesn't work with [utf-8](http://www.utf-8.com/). Converting my file from utf-8 to latin-1 with iconv. (This involved looking up the proper code for latin-1 - "iso-8859-1." The geek in me is ashamed to admit that I don't remember "iso-8859-1" by heart.) Then discovering that gnome-terminal doesn't want to display iso-8859-1 files properly. So, I then started from scratch, trying to install Portuguese dictionaries for *aspell* instead. This failed miserably. After some more time I realized that gnome-terminal might be smart enough to switch between multiple encodings, which turned out to be the case. So, I could finally run ispell. However, it kept exiting immediately. It took a bit of experimenting to realize that this was because the file simply didn't have any spelling errors. So, now, it's all working. Ah, what wouldn't a man do for the joy of being able to spell-check from the command line? Advanced Fields Category 2002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014E. AsiaE.
