[Aspell-user] Fw: wordlist issue with bn dict

[Ram N]

I am using  0.60 version of aspell and the OS i am running is Freebsd 6. 
Does aspell have any known list of languages which doesn't support wordlist? 
I am trying to add  wordlist to bengali dictionary and trying to run some bengali spellcheck but aspell doesn't seem to like it. I get segmentation faults when I do it. The wordlist works with other languages though.



For example:-
Assume that the wordlist contains 'blog' as a word. The same gets added to the hidden folder for bn with the wordlist items but when ever I send some bengali content to aspell binary with lang as bn it cores complaining about the letter b in blog and says it doesn't understand that letter. 

I am skipping this for hi language do I need to do the same for bn too?

Is there a plan to support dicts for these languages Urdu, Thai and Korean?

I see there is an OpenOffice dictionary available for Urdu. Is there any tool available which will convert an OO format to aspell format?

Please be more specific. What hidden folder. Exactly how to do "send some
bengali content". If you are using specific commands from the command
line please let me know what they are.

Note that you can not add English words to the "bn" dictionary. That is
what Aspell is complaining about. When the language is "bn" Aspell
will simply skip over any non-Bengali characters when checking documents.

You are not making any sense.

k may be I wasn't clear.  Let me ask this as a question. 

I have a list of words which I need to be white-listed. I am referring this file as "wordlist" below. The content of this file has 'blog' and 'xyz' as words in it and any language the user selects, I want these words in wordlist file to be ignored from spellcheck. How will you achieve this using aspell? And if the languages are bn and hi then how will one ignore these words which are from en.
