I want to use Aspell in the Windows command prompt. Installed Aspell
0.60.6.1. with Cygwin. When I process files with German umlauts they are
not displayed by Aspell, even though the correction and everything
works. Any ideas? Thanks, Linus

Please make sure you're using the correct encoding. Use the command chcp.

Thanks for the reply! chcp returns:
Active code page: 850

Is that what I should expect?

Does it work better if you use the command chcp 1252 before running
Aspell? There is a way to do this automatically, but I don't remember it
atm.

Thanks again. But unfortunately, this does not help.
I recorded this 20 sec. demo video:

If your file is in UTF-8, try chcp 65001. chcp 1252 is for ISO-8859-1.

I tried
chcp 65001

and then
aspell --lang=de_de --encoding=utf-8 -c test.txt

with the attached utf-8 text file.

But it still no umlauts are displayed by aspell (just like in the
youtube video I recorded with chcp 1252.

Best regards,
Linus
