I still don't like the idea of having this complicated
a thing in a hook; on the other hand, I just realized
that the code I provided isn't compatible with the
hook solution, so it isn't of any help if you are set
on that idea.

OK, try this, only change the Swedish stuff for
Italian, no?

(defun message-spell-before-send (lang-char)
  (interactive "s(e)nglish or (s)wedish: ")
  (let ((lang (pcase lang-char
                ("e" "american-insane") ; these has to be added outside of Emacs
                ("s" "svenska") )))
    (if lang
        (progn
          (ispell-change-dictionary lang) ; N.B. side-effect - this isn't reset
          (ispell-message) )
      (message "Spelling not done - no support for: %s" lang-char) )))

If you don't want to spell, just hit RET.
