<h2 class="chapter">7 Adding Support For Other Languages</h2>
<p>Before you consider adding support for Aspell, first make sure that
someone else has not already done it. A good number of dictionaries
off the Aspell home page at <a href="http://aspell.net">http://aspell.net</a>. If your
language is not listed above feel free to send mail to aspell-dict at
gnu org for help in getting started.
<p>Adding a language to Aspell is fairly straightforward. You basically
need to create the language data file, and compile a new word list.
