    kubuntu 9.04 system polyglot spell checking - how?

    I am an absolute KDE newbie, using Kubuntu 9.04 and am trying to get system spell checking to work the way I need:

    1) Some KDE4 apps seem to be working with US default spell checking, others don't. Kate is one of the apps that doesn't seem to work.

    2) I am a bit of a polyglot and need to be able to spell check in English, Danish and Indonesian. What do I need to install to get spell checking in these languages to function in KDE4 apps?

    Cheers

    Take a look at GNU Aspell

        For some reason there doesn't seem to be an Indonesian dictionary for Aspell in the repositories. Is there a .deb file that can be had someplace?

          According to Aspell's web site, the Indonesian language should be supported in 0.60.6.

          Supported

            Yes, I see that, but aspell-id has been AWOL in all Ubuntu versions since I started playing with Edgy Eft. It was OK at the time, as I was just playing around with Ubuntu, but now that I have a laptop with only Kubuntu 9.04 installed, I need a solution.

                Thanks for the link to the other thread, it should come in usefull. Unfortunately, to address my problem, I had to install aspell-id by downloading the tarball, compiling and installing the dictionary. I don't really consider this as a solution, but rather as a stop-gap measure until the day that Ubuntu wakes up and includes aspell-id as a package in the repositories. Very weird.
