How to enable Norwegian spelling check in emacs?

612 Views Asked by At

I want to run ispell for Norwegian and possibly other languages in emacs (Ubuntu 14.04).

I've installed the aspell-no package, do a ispell-change-dictionary, set it to no, upon which it says "using norsk dictionary", then I run ispell. This leads to:

Error: The file /usr/lib/aspell/norsk can not be opened for reading.

Rightly so, the file doesn't exist, but a bunch of others: no.dat, norwegian.alias, etc.

Am I missing something? This is a problem similar to Where to find french dictionary for ispell?, but it seems to differ in that the answers mentioned there don't solve it.

The commenters pointed me in the right direction. The answer is actually as simple as this: Call ispell-change-dictionary and set it to nb. Works as a charm. The different values listed above are still confusing, though ..
