KDE & International Languages & Spelling

I have two questions related to KDE's support of international (other than English) languages and one related to XFree86's configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

Question 1
I have aspell/ispell dictionaries installed (other than English) but they do NOT appear in

K -> Settings -> Control Center -> KDE Components -> Spell Checker -> Dictionary

Only English dictionaries appear there.

In this way I do not have spelling support in KDE applications.

Question 2
How do I add Languages in KDE?

In

K -> Settings -> Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Country/Region & Language -> Locale -> Languages: English US -> Add Language

only "English US" is available.

Question 3
How do I pass the Switching Option (Policy)
available in

K -> Settings -> Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout -> Switching Options

to the file

/etc/X11/XF86Config-4

?

Cheers!

Re: KDE & International Languages & Spelling

In order to add more language to the spellchecker you have to install them
pacman -Ss aspell
for the list of the avail dictionary package, by modifing one of the existing PKGBUILD you can easyly add your language if it is missing.
The same for kde language
pacman -Ss kde-i18n
this give you the list of the avail language
They are all kde 3.2.1, do not worry they work as well with 3.2.3.
If it complains about missing dependencies (for kde language) force the installation, ie
pacman -Sf kde-i18n-it
this force the installation of the italian pack for kde.

-f works only if you have file conflicts.  -d is for ignoring dependencies.
