Hi,

I am multilingual (native Czech) and although I am able to deal with 
complicated configurations (after the only real configuration tool has 
only two letters in its name, 'v' and 'i'), I found method used by many 
other Gnome applications (Evolution, Gajim) pretty easy. You just check 
more than one check box for all applicable languages and spellchecker 
will check all of them ... chance that correct English word will be 
incorrect Czech one is pretty slim. Although, of course as the selected 
languages are closer to each other it might become a problem.

Anyway, just my CZK 0.02
