Subject: O: auto-dictionary-mode -- automatic dictionary switcher for Emacs spell checking
Date: Sat, 03 Aug 2024 21:30:33 -0400
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Control: affects -1 + src:auto-dictionary-mode

I hereby orphan the auto-dictionary-mode package.

The package description is:
 Auto-dictionary is a minor mode that hooks into Flyspell's on-the-fly spell
 checking and extends these checks to also detect language.  Auto-dictionary
 then sets 'ispell-dictionary' to use the detected language.  This package is
 useful for bilingual and multilingual Emacs users.
 .
 Language detection is per buffer (per document), and auto-dictionary will
 choose the language whose words appear most frequently in a document.  If that
 document also contains a second language, and then the document is edited until
 there are a greater number of words from the second language, then
 auto-dictionary will choose the second language.  That is to say,
 auto-dictionary's pick always depends on the current state of the document, and
 it will only pick one language.  This package does not enable multiple
 dictionary support for Emacs ispell.
 .
 Auto-dictionary supports the following languages:
   * ca  - Catalan
   * da  - Dansk (Danish)
   * de  - Deutsch (German)
   * el  - νέα ελληνικά (Modern Greek)
   * en  - English
   * eo  - Esperanto
   * es  - Español (Spanish)
   * fr  - Français (French)
   * grc - ἑλληνικά (Classical Greek)
   * hi  - हिन्दी (Hindi)
   * hu  - Magyar (Hungarian)
   * nb  - Bokmål (Norwegian)
   * nn  - Nynorsk (Norwegian)
   * pt  - Português (Portuguese)
   * ro  - Românâ, Româneşte (Romanian)
   * sk  - Slovenčina (Slovak)
   * sl  - Slovenian (Slovene)
   * sv  - Svenska (Swedish)
