Regards
Alex

thanks I will try it and if needed post back. One more think though. Which are the packages for german dictionary for opera and openoffice. How to make those make the distinction between English and German ?

+1 for ding. It is based on the beolingus database from TU-Chemnitz if I remember correctly.
The German dictionary for Open-/Libreoffice should be myspell-german or something like that. For Opera I do not know.

in any textprocessor the language is an attribute of the text.
You can assign it as you assign formats such as bold /italic/
or the like. Opera I don’t know what you are looking for.
