How do you initiate the personal dictionary?

Does the same problem happen if you invoke Aspell from the shell,
passing it the Norwegian language and the personal dictionary for
English?

I don't use Aspell. I use Hunspell, where this problem doesn't exist,
and where you can have a separate personal dictionary for each
language.
