I always use Local Variables, as I always work with a master document 
and \include the chapters; so this would be great, but...

I just tried and there is a message when I reopen the files:

    The local variables list in <title.tex>
    contains values that may not be safe (*).

    Do you want to apply it? You can type
    y -- to apply [...]

    [...]

    * ispell-dictionary : "english"

I said «y», but unfortunately, it didn't work ---M-x ispell still tries 
to use Spanish by default.

I didn't google it, but saw similar cases in the AUCTeX manual, and 
tried it just in case it worked.

Can I just download that english.el and put it in 
.../share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/style/ along the other <language>.el files?

If so, where can I download it from?


Thank you and best regards
