Dear Mark,
For Google am doing the localization. Now am correcting their main page in
Malayalam. They told it will take some time to correct that in the main
page. And using machine translation for Malayalam will not be good, I can
show that through so many examples.
If 1 against 3 is for the right thing, I believe I have to go ahead. As a
journalist I am always putting that. If you feel the 3 is right then skip my
mails. Carry on the wrong thing in wikipedia if u like.
If u need I can make the same comment from 100's. Dont thing bad in my
mail. I am always writing straight
Regards
Ginu George

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Re: Spell checking in MediaWiki
While Walter's advice about checking spelling with the Google toolbar
can be useful for some languages (I believe it works for English,
German, Spanish, French, and Swedish, maybe I missed one?), it won't
be useful for everybody else -- what is a Hindi Wikipedian or a Xhosa
Wikipedian to do for spellchecking?
Certainly, ispell libraries are a much more appealing option because
they support a huge list of languages, and it's not extremely
difficult to add more.

The
need is reduced.
In my understanding google toolbar supports only English. Does pspell
support other languages? And there is people who don't want to install
google toolbar anyway.

Pspell (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pspell.php) uses the GNU Aspell
library and Aspell claims to support quite a few languages:
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/man-html/Supported.html
I have tested my prototype a little with Spanish:
http://66.205.125.240/spell/index.php/User_talk:192.168.1.101
But you won't be able to test it since you can't change $wgLanguageCode.
