Thanks, now that you describe that, I learned a little more.
I misread the various printf() and puts() as hard-coded absolutes, so your
point does help.... which is it translates only where it is important.
I opened up KDE under english and another session under another language plus
set the appropriate aspell-settings in the components... KDE does show the
correct questions as per language... doing a terminal session was not so
fortunate (typed aspell -h and all help still got displayed in english) so
I'm guessing that the printf() and puts() are hardcoded.... for example:
/prog/address@hidden
Appears I've got more reading to do to understand aspell.
------------other (misc.)---------
found a couple fixes to accumilate for the next release, nothing important
yet, just wording...
aspell program:
README_diff.txt <= compiled
aspell dictionary:
README_aspell6_dictionary_english.txt <= choose
README_diff.txt
