Hi all,

Minor question here: I read groups in multiple languages, and I would
like to be able to have the spellcheck automatically detect the group
and select the right dictionary.

I know this is possible, I've seen some code somewhere to do it, but
I've plain forgotten where and I can't find it anymore. Anyone have a
link?

Here's the general idea:

Group name         Dictionary
de.*               german
nl.*               dutch
default            british

Mart
