Hello As far as I know it is possible to define a local minor mode abbrev table. Like this (define-abbrev-table 'spanish-minor-mode-abbrev-table '( ("tx" "texto" nil 0) )) And the corresponding code of the minor mode. However what I don't know is how to implement functions which would correspond to add-local-mode-abbrev for that minor-mode. Rationale: I would like to have flyspells abbrev mechanism to work for different languages, as I wrote in an earlier message. One idea is to use a mayor mode and the indirect buffer command. However a more convenient solutions seems to me to use minor modes and the relevant abbrev commands.
