On Ubuntu 20.04, company-wordfreq.el failed to suggest possible words for writting.

[Hongyi Zhao]

Dear Emacers here:

I want to have the suggests possible words as I type English, and I
noticed the wonderful notes on the using of
<https://github.com/johannes-mueller/company-wordfreq.el> at the
following websites:

<https://github.com/md-arif-shaikh/.emacs.d/blob/main/emacs.org#writing-in-bangla-using-company-wordfreq>
<https://md-arif-shaikh.github.io/2021/05/27/typing-bangla-in-emacs.html>

On Ubuntu 20.04, with the self compiled git master version, I
test above settings with ispell-local-dictionary set to "english", which is
corresponding to my scenario.

The following is the init file, ~/.emacs.d/init.company-wordfreq.el, used
for the testing:

```emacs-lisp
;;Bootstrap straight
(defvar bootstrap-version)
(let ((bootstrap-file
       (expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el"
user-emacs-directory))
      (bootstrap-version 5))
  (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
    (with-current-buffer
        (url-retrieve-synchronously
         
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el";
         'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (eval-print-last-sexp)))
  (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))
(straight-use-package 'use-package)
(setq straight-use-package-by-default t)

(straight-use-package
 '(company-wordfreq :type git :host github :repo
"johannes-mueller/company-wordfreq.el"))

(defun remove-quail-show-guidance ()
  nil)
(defun remove-quail-completion ()
  (quail-select-current))
(defun my-company-wordfreq ()
  (interactive)
  (advice-add 'quail-show-guidance :override #'remove-quail-show-guidance)
  (advice-add 'quail-completion :override #'remove-quail-completion)
  ;(setq ispell-local-dictionary "bengali_439")
  (setq ispell-local-dictionary "english")
  (setq-local company-backends '(company-wordfreq))
  (setq-local company-transformers nil))
```

The dictionary file used for my testing:

$ wc -l ~/.emacs.d/wordfreq-dicts/english.txt
50000 /home/werner/.emacs.d/wordfreq-dicts/english.txt

Start Emacs with the following command:

$ emacs -q --load ~/.emacs.d/init.company-wordfreq.el

Then do the testing workflow with the notes
[here](https://md-arif-shaikh.github.io/2021/05/27/typing-bangla-in-emacs.html):

1. Enable company-wordfreq and other changes for a nice experience
using M-x en-company-wordfreq
2. TAB to get suggestions.
3. ARROW to select one.

But it doesn't work at all.

Any hints for this problem?

Regards,
HY
