I only use ispell for German, so it's inconvenient to use 'M-x 
ispell-change-dictionary <RET> DICT <RET>' every time.

The manual (info "(emacs)Spelling") doesn't explain how to set default 
ispell dictionary ('ispell-dictionary'?) for all buffers / for every Emacs 
session.

I believe the intention is that you should set the default dictionary
outside of Emacs.  Not sure how to do that, tho.

"man ispell" says to set the environment variable DICTIONARY.

Since many of us use ispell only from Emacs, I think it would be easier
to have a way in Emacs to specify this.

Setting `ispell-local-dictionary' from the ~/.emacs file should do the job

I have something like

(setq ispell-local-dictionary "castellano8")

Same for desired `ispell-program-name'.

Both `ispell-local-dictionary'  and `ispell-program-name' are already
customizable.

It can be done by customizing `ispell-local-dictionary' appropriately.

It appears that `ispell-dictionary' is the right variable to set
for this purpose.

Would someone please ensure the Emacs Manual documents it?
