I work primarily with low density languages.  It's not always clear in
those languages whether there is a "standard" spelling system or not. 
There may be dictionaries, but often the spelling changes when words get
affixed (as in English try/tries), and dictionaries typically do not cover
that.  And different dictionaries for a single language may disagree.

Is anyone aware of spelling standards for multiple languages?  I'm not so
much looking for spelling standards for particular languages, like Spanish,
although in the absence of more general resources links to
language-particular standards may be of interest too.  Rather, I'm looking
for a website or other resource that provides links to multiple standards. 
The Open Office repository
(http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries) is one such, but
there may be others.
