ispell-dictionary with aspell

[Sebastian Luque]

Hi,

Even though I have the following:

(setq ispell-program-name "aspell"
      ispell-dictionary "english")


when I do M-$ to check some spelling, I get the following backtrace:


Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Error: No word lists can be found for the language \"us\".")
  signal(error ("Error: No word lists can be found for the language \"us\"."))
  error("%s" "Error: No word lists can be found for the language \"us\".")
  ispell-init-process()
  ispell-buffer-local-words()
  ispell-accept-buffer-local-defs()
  ispell-word(nil nil nil)
  call-interactively(ispell-word)


and the value of ispell-dictionary after that gets set to nil.

However, if I do M-x ispell-change-dictionary RET english RET, then
there's no problem.

Has anybody else seen this or have some pointers on what's going on?

Thanks in advance,

Thanks, but it didn't help.  Using (ispell-change-dictionary "english") in
~/.emacs didn't help either.

hmm...will have to get used to M-x ispell-change-dictionary at the start
of sessions.

I just checked my .emacs file.

(setq ispell-prgoram-name "aspell")
(set-default 'ispell-local-dictioniary "american")

This seems to make a difference to me! Interestingly aspell works with 
the 'german' dictionary, but not with 'de' or 'de_DE'. Even more 
interestingly I can use a non-existent dictionary 'german8' -- but 
different from ispell aspell still does not recognize words with 
diacritics in them.

I think aspell needs some more decades of development until it reaches 
the state ispell had 15 years ago ...
