Emacs already does all that automatically.  Recall that text in the
buffer you are spell-checking is already decoded into the internal
representation, so the file's encoding is irrelevant.  As for the
dictionary encoding, ispell.el detects that automatically (and if it
fails, you can help it by customizing ispell-dictionary-alist), and
encodes/decodes the words as needed when it talks to the spelling
back-end.
