Variable: ispell-local-dictionary

ispell-local-dictionary is a customizable and buffer-local variable defined in ispell.el.gz.

Documentation

If non-nil, the dictionary to be used for Ispell commands in this buffer.

The value must be a string dictionary name, or nil, which means use the global setting in ispell-dictionary. Dictionary names are defined in ispell-local-dictionary-alist and ispell-dictionary-alist.

Setting ispell-local-dictionary to a value has the same effect as calling M-x ispell-change-dictionary (ispell-change-dictionary) with that value. This variable is automatically set when defined in the file with either ispell-dictionary-keyword or the Local Variable syntax.
