Description:
File pl_PL.dic is supposed to be in UTF-8 encoding (result of uchardet), but it is not. Any program using this dictionary marks input text containing special characters as misspelled words. Package hunspell-pl is based on the same dictionary (https://sjp.pl/slownik/ort/) but the dictionary file pl_PL.dic is properly converted to UTF-8 encoding.


Additional info:
* package version(s): 20201011-1


Steps to reproduce:
* Use spell checker in any program using aspell (Firefox, Thunderbird, ...)
* Enter word containing special polish characters
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  None
Additional comments about closing:  Without a reproducer, it's hard to identify a bug. Either way, it would seem to be an upstream issue. (Note: sjp-aspell6-pl-6.0_20230501-0.tar.bz2 is available upstream).

Both Firefox and Thunderbird use hunspell dictionaries, not aspell. Have you actually tried it with a program that uses aspell?

Grabbing some random Polish text from Wikipedia and piping it into `aspell -l pl -a` seems to work fine as it is, so would be interesting to see an actually reproduction case.

I had to remove aspell completely to make the spell checking actually work correctly. I had both aspell and hunspell installed, now I have only the latter and it works, so I assumed that this was due to encoding. Actually the pl_PL.dic file opened by any editor (vim, gedit, ...) show wrong symbols in places where polish letters should be. The hunspell version looks ok by visual inspection.
