To cycle through dictionary's we can define a variable containing a When working with several languages, we should be able to cycle through
cyclic list of installed language packs. the languages we most frequently use. Every buffer should have a separate
cycle of languages, so that cycling in one buffer does not change the

(defvar ispell-languages '#1=("english" "norsk" . #1#)) global cycle). We can implement this by using a [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Closures.html][closure]].
