When I have (ispell-change-dictionary "nynorsk" t) in .emacs *Messages* gives me this: "Loading ispell...done (Next global Ispell command will use nynorsk dictionary) ispell.el is already loaded" and on the first spellcheck, it goes: "(Next local Ispell command will use american dictionary) Starting new Ispell process..." I then manually change to "nynorsk": "Ispell process killed (Next global Ispell command will use nynorsk dictionary)" Which is weird. But having simply (setq ispell-program-name "aspell") and nothing else in my .emacs seems to get "nynorsk" from my system default or something, and works just fine. Perhaps that's just what Ubuntu users are supposed to do?
