I know them, even use them in directories (see `.dir-locals.el'), instead of
files.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
((org-mode . ((ispell-local-dictionary . "american")
              (time-stamp-format . "%:y-%02m-%02d")
              (time-stamp-start . "^#\\+DATE: +")
              (time-stamp-end . "$"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

BUT there is a *language specification* in the Org template:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE:     Scorpios.org
#+AUTHOR:    Seb Vauban
#+EMAIL:     address@hidden
#+DATE:      2010-01-13 Wed
#+DESCRIPTION: 
#+KEYWORDS: 
#+LANGUAGE:  en
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
             ^^

AND it is *used by Org* (at least for the HTML export, and for LaTeX as well I
think -- or, in any case, it should use it).

Thus, I try to avoid declaring which language is used in the buffer at two
different spots, because we can change one and forget to change the other.

Therefore, I would like to keep only one language declaration (the one of the
Org template, in this case), and get Emacs follow it.

Does this make sense?

Best regards,
  Seb
