[Hamara-devel] indian english spell checker in hamara ?

[shirish]

Hi all,

While there are various English spell-checkers in Debian and other 
distros. there isn't an Indian english spell-checker for various 
languages. It would be nice to have such a spell-checker in hamara which 
will reduce the time it takes for a new user to start using the system. 
The spell-checker would be useful in many ways :-

a. We would know words that we use and those get added to the database 
and hence new release of the package (say every 3 months or so).

b.Each regional language has its special 'tadka' or twist to English 
terms. For e.g. 'Jugaad' while being a hindi/devanagri word is also 
written in English and is very much part of the Hinglish generation. 
There is also a movie which just came out which reinforces the term
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugaadi_Dot_Com which is a Punjabi movie.

A list of such Indian-English words, updation, support etc. would make 
hamara a pretty unique offering.
