Spanish spelling checker for MacVim?

Question

How do I add the Spanish spell-checker for MacVim?

I read that this is a useful link, but apparently it is not working ... what should I do?

Answer 1

I don't know about MacVim, however I just tested the following in vim 7.2 on Windows 7.

Set the spelling language to Spanish and switch on spell checking:

:set spelllang=es
:set spell

At this point Vim tells you:

Cannot find spell file for "es" in utf-8. Do you want me to try downloading it?

If you say yes, vim will download these two files into the $VIMRUNTIME/spell directory:

• http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/es.utf-8.spl
• http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/es.utf-8.sug
