[pspell side]

in the interface to pspell a way to pass options is available. i don't
know which is, but this is a matter of the developer using pspell.

looking at url
  http://aspell.net/pspell-man/4_Library.html#SECTION00540000000000000000
we see that an option named "language-tag" select the language to be
used for the check.

this is provided by the application *to* pspell.


[pspell-aspell side]

libaspell shared library (and then aspell binary) manages a system
of configuration files to decide various options like the language to
be used.  aspell module for pspell passes this option after having got
it somewhere (configuration files, defaults...).

please look at
http://aspell.net/aspell-man/5_Customizing.html#SECTION00610000000000000000


[pspell-ispell side]

ispell module for pspell seems to not provide a "language-tag" option to
pspell. this sounds strange to me but through the 600 lines of code of
the only source file of pspell-ispell language-tag is never mentioned. so
if you want to choose a language for the check with pspell-ispell you
are on you own.
