This package adds support for some Apertium source formats to flycheck. For best results, get the core Apertium development tools (apertium-all-dev) from the nightly repos: http://wiki.apertium.org/wiki/Installation To use it, add this to your init.el: (when (locate-library "flycheck-apertium") (require 'flycheck-apertium) (add-hook 'nxml-mode-hook 'flycheck-mode)) If not installing through ELPA, you'll also have to do (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/flycheck-apertium-directory/")
