Make hunspell work with emacs and german language

I want to make hunspell work with emacs24 and a german dictionary on a ubuntu 13.04-box. To do so I installed hunspell and hunspell-de and added the following to my .emacs file: (setq ispell-program-name "hunspell") (setq ispell-dictionary "deutsch8") When I open a file in emacs and start flyspell-buffer I get Starting new Ispell process [[hunspell::deutsch8]] but it blocks the emacs buffer (mouse becomes a rotating disk indicating to wait) and works for endless without showing any results. So there must be something wrong with my config. Without the second line it works, but only for english texts. So what's the best way to setup hunspell for emacs24 with a german dictionary on ubuntu 13.04? Are there any possible pitfalls?
