Hiya Mike,
We actually do support this on Unix, and I figure that it's *trivial* to do on
Win32 or whatever your preferred platform is.
On Unix, we getenv("LANG"), which can be en-US, de-DE, etc... My impl probably
isn't the best, but it sure does work. See src/wp/ap/unix/ap_UnixFrame.cpp
around line 130.
Since we spell-check based on our "lang" property now in *both* the ispell and
pspell builds, setting "lang" to sv-SE will give you the desired effect.
Please implement something like this for Win32 if at all possible.
Dom
