Here is the problem. I think TeXmacs sent (in the past) datas in latin1
encoding. However, most of GNU/Linux distributions have nowadays
migrated to utf8. Then, since the locale is set to utf8, aspell want to
communicate in utf8.

Here is a hot fix to use aspell (not tested with ispell).

The reason why aspell currently works with french is not clear for me.

Anyway, is there *any* reason to use ispell nowaday ?

I ask this because this code beeing old, the dependency to ispell is
normal, but we should migrate to aspell. Aspell is maintained ; not
ispell. Aspell dictionaries management is better than ispell's one. As
an example, whereas ispell comes with a fixed list of dictionaries and
that this list is hardcoded in TeXmacs, aspell comes with
a plenty of dictionaries, handling different flavors of the usage
of all language. Then it is possible for some GNU/Linux distribution
to do not have an alias for ispell dictionary's name; only the list
of all flavors. Therefore, launching aspell -d '<language>' on such a
configuration does not work.

This is what I seen with Andrey about russian language on Gentoo.

Also, aspell encoding options are better than ispell's one.

Currently, the code try to work with these two softwares, but this is
a sink for bad behaviors. And AFAIK, no one use ispell anymore.

So, I propose to migrate the code to aspell, with a better language
management, with an optional dictionary managment and to use unicode
for communication. This will greatly simplify the plugin.
