Re: [Aspell-user] Dictionary of proper names

[Goran Rakic]

This is not possible. For example, we are using transcription in
Serbian language (so it's Копенхаген and Стокхолм) and forms are very
different. It's same with many other languages.

It's not even possible to have a dictionary with names and places in
English included in every other dictionary as some code pages don't
include ASCII/ISO-8859-1 support and word separation rules can be
different then in English.

What's possible is to have separate dictionary with names and places
in English (if we doesn't have that already) so one can check spelling
in two passes.
