I have Swedish and English spell checking with aspell
(but without flyspell, as that disturbs my typeflow),
and some shortcuts/defuns to make it work for words,
regions, or buffers, depending on the context
(DWIM). Though I can't answer your specific question, it
always worked for me, and I put all the
configuration/extension in one file, which might help
you:

Hi Emanuel,
I was wondering about adding whole dictionaries when I was figuring out my
issues. I was unsure how the words where actually added to the lists as I
couldn't see a pattern for the small number that I used for testing.
Thanks for your script. I will file it under my resources tree for future
use.

Thanks again
Andreas

Those spellcheckers, and especially the dynamic
dictionaries, aren't that easy to figure out. Some time
ago, I wrote a script ("addict") how to add a new word
list: from text file, via sorting, and compressing, to a
unified dictionary (hopefully).

Even if you don't need such a tool, I can be interesting
to see the mechanics. Actually, I'm happy I wrote that
over-pedagogical tutorial, because by now, without it,
not even I can make out those twists and turns :)

Hello,
Thanks Peter and Emanuel for your swift responses.
Your replies got me thinking and I finally found ispell.el which as it
stands I probably should have tried to find earlier.
It turns out that if you don't define your personal dictionaries the
ispell/aspell defaults are used which defaults to
~/.ispell_DICT for ispell
and
~/.aspell.LANG.pws for aspell
where DICT is some name of some kind and LANG is the language of choice.

It seems that both of the suggestions hinted at something like this but I
could not figure it out until I found it in ispell.el.

The simple solution would now be to just remove the variable and let aspell
sort it out. Which I have =).

Thanks for putting me on the right track!
regards
Andreas

Expected language "en" but got "sv"

[Andreas Tjärnberg]

Hello list,

I have had a small problem lately conserning my spell checker in
emacs. When I have tried to spell check I have gotten the error:
Expected language "en" but got "sv"
My spell checking config is modest I would say.
It turns out that I had my personal dictionary like this:
personal_ws-1.1 sv 3 
okontrollerat
rabalder
plåtarna

and that caused the error to appear when spell checking in english.

I am wondering how I am suppose to handle my personal dictionary if I
have some swedish and some english words that I want to add to it or
perhaps to different files and use them when appropriate.

There has been another thread about this that i've found but no answers
to the posts
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2005-09/msg00178.html

Hope to get some input

regards
Andreas

I have:

-rw-rw-r--   1 pete   1700 14. Dez 2012  .ispell_english
-rw-rw-r--   1 pete   2216  5. Dez 2008  .ispell_german

and this can be configured via

	(setq ispell-personal-dictionary "~/.ispell_german")

You just have to switch… The statement above is not active in my init file, it's just left as a comment. What I do have is:

	      (setq ispell-program-name "ispell")
	;     (setq ispell-program-name "aspell")
	
	      (if (string= "aspell" ispell-program-name)
		(progn
	;	  (setq ispell-extra-args "--norm-form=comp --norm-required --run-together")
	;	  (setq ispell-dictionary "en_GB-ise-w_accents")
		  (setq ispell-dictionary "deutsch")
		  (set-default 'ispell-local-dictionary ispell-dictionary)
		  (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (function (lambda () (setq ispell-extra-args '("--mode=tex")))))
	;	  (setq-default ispell-extra-args '("--mode=tex"))
	;	  (setq-default ispell-extra-args '("--personal=custom_dict.rws"))
	;	  (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode)
		  (message "Alles für «a»spell")
		  )
;		  (setq ispell-dictionary "german8")
		  (setq ispell-dictionary "deutsch8")
		  (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook (function (lambda () (setq ispell-extra-args '("-t")))))
		  (message "Alles für »i«spell")
		  (add-hook 'TeX-language-en-hook (function (lambda () (ispell-change-dictionary "british"))))
		  (add-hook 'TeX-language-de-hook (function (lambda () (ispell-change-dictionary ispell-dictionary))))
	      )

Maybe some lines can be deleted. It seems to work fine when I M-x ispell-change-dictionary.
