Does the modeline say "LaTeX-Mode", or just "latex-mode"? If the
latter, add the following to your ~/.emacs:
;;*=======================
;;* Initialise aucTeX
(require 'tex-site)
and discover AucTeX.

German user?
M-x customize-variable RET ispell-local-dictionary RET
then give "deutsch8" as dictionary.
If that doesn´t do enough, use
M-x customize-variable RET ispell-extra-args RET
with the options "-C" "-t" "-T" "latin1" "-d" "deutsch" (+man ispell).
Or, just for latex-mode:
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook
(function (lambda ()
(setq ispell-extra-args '("-t -C -x -S"))
)))
(It might be necessary to duplicate this for LaTeX-mode-hook (case
matters!).

That may also be of help:

(setq ispell-parser 'tex)

Yes, I fear. You might be able to hack something that examines the
\selectlanguage commands, but that would be quite complicated (at
least for me).

See how I qouted you above? With filladapt I could "word-wrap"
(Emacs language: "fill") this text, and still keep the "> " signs in
place. Like that:

(Your case is a complicated one, as it wants to have your "(4)" like
the way it looks now :-)
