Default language

[tobiasBora]

Thanks for this great software. I’m just surprised, I can’t find any way to select a different language by default. I guess I could call (jinx-languages "en") in the hook of each opened file, but it will always ask to change the Local Variables field and never take into account variables like:

% Local Variables:
% jinx-languages: "en"
% End:

Am I missing something?

Oh, seems like setting:

(use-package jinx
  :hook (emacs-startup . (lambda ()
                           (global-jinx-mode)
                           (setq jinx-languages "en")))
  :bind (("M-$" . jinx-correct)
         ("C-M-$" . jinx-languages)))

does the job. It might help to make this clear from the documentation?

Setting jinx-languages to a default value should work (before enabling Jinx). By default the value is taken from the locale or the LANG environment variable.
