ispell and localisation

[Barutan Seijin]

I have Japanese set for my environment, but I want to spell check
English.  (The concept of checking spelling in Japanese doesn't even
make sense).  Anyway, ispell checks the locale before choosing a
dictionary, but when it discovers I have a Japanese setup, it quits.

Is there a way to invoke ispell so that instead of quitting it'll use an
English dictionary?

As it is now, hitting M-$ gives me this:

Loading newcomment...done
Auto-saving...done
Mark set
Quit
Auto-saving...done
Loading ispell...done
Starting new Ispell process...
ispell-init-process: Error: No word lists can be found for the language "ja_JP".

Try something similiar to this:

        (setq ispell-dictionary "german8")
