How can I make AUCTeX use the spelling dictionary in the same language as babel is loaded with?

Question

Is it possible to setup AUCTeX so that it loads the spelling dictionary in the same language as the language used by babel? For example, is it possible to load the Danish ispell dictionary when a document includes \usepackage[danish]{babel}?

This can be done by using language specific hooks in AUCTeX. To automatically load the Danish ispell dictionary when a document includes \usepackage[danish]{babel} put the following in your .emacs:

(add-hook 'TeX-language-dk-hook
      (lambda () (ispell-change-dictionary "danish")))

@lockstep I have been looking for such an option and when I found it in the manual I thought it would make sense to document it here for others to find and benefit from. – N.N. Jan 02 '12 at 10:12

What about Polyglossia? – egreg Jan 02 '12 at 14:13
@egreg That is a good question. I did a quick search without finding anything. Perhaps it should be asked as a new question? – N.N. Jan 02 '12 at 14:17

Based on this answer, you can also specify a local variable inside the .tex file :

%%% Local Variables:
%%% ispell-local-dictionary: "danish"
%%% End:
