I googled for "emacs two dictionaries" and found this, which toggles
between two dictionaries:

I have a way to toggle between two languages:
;; You should have aspell-ru and aspell-en packages installed
(let ((langs '("english" "russian")))
(setq lang-ring (make-ring (length langs)))
(dolist (elem langs) (ring-insert lang-ring elem)))
(defun cycle-ispell-languages ()
(interactive)
(let ((lang (ring-ref lang-ring -1)))
(ring-insert lang-ring lang)
(ispell-change-dictionary lang)))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-1") 'cycle-ispell-languages)
There's one down vote because the voter wants to automate it, but I
don't think that makes sense. You don't want it to guess at the
language of each word. If it is correct in the correct language, but
wrong in the other language, should it still show the possibilities?
You'd have to choose "as is" for every 90% of the words.
