ispell-local-dictionary

[Alain Muls]

Hi emacs,


I use Emacs auctex mode for editing my LaTeX files. SInce I often work 
in different languages (English, French and Dutch), I was looking after 
the ispell-local-dictionary comment which would allow to define for each 
document which language ispell (I auto-enable flyspell on loading of the 
tex-file) should use. However I have no succes, ispell (and flyqpell) 
default to the English dictionary.

Any advice appreciated
Tx/Alain

I have the same need for writing documents in different languages, and letting
Emacs ispell correct me when I'm wrong.

I just put some local variables at the end of my `.tex' documents, such as:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% This is for the sake of Emacs.
% Local Variables:
% coding: utf-8
% eval: (ispell-change-dictionary "american")
% eval: (flyspell-mode 1)
% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I had tried setting `ispell-local-dictionary', but never succeeded either to
make it work. No idea why...

While the above, even if on two lines, works perfectly for me...

you can also put the following in the first line of your file
-*- mode: flyspell; ispell-dictionary: "francais" -*-

`ispell-dictionary' or `ispell-local-dictionary'?  It has never been clear to
me which one to use.
