== problem == when installing lang files under wheezy, you get following error: E763: 'Word Characters' unterscheiden sich zwischen Rechtschreibwörterbüchern E763: Word characters differ between spell files == solution == http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=705007 cd ~/.vim/spell && curl -O "http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/spell/en.utf-8.spl" then in vim: :setlocal spell spelllang=de == old solution == Wheezy unfortunately does not contain german (or other non-english) spellfiles. The downloading feature does not work, because the files there seem to be incompatible: The solution for debian is to copy de.utf-8.spl to .vim/spell downloadable from ftp://www.markus-raab.org/de.utf-8.spl
