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...
