Description Guillaume Desmottes 2005-08-21 12:53:35 UTC 
It would be useful to be able to choose more than one language for spell
checking  like in Evolution (for example during .po files editing).

I don't think it's a good idea to activate several languages at the same time, because a correctly-spelled word in one language may be wrong in the other language.

A .po editor better knows which language is used for each line, so such an application can use the correct language depending on the context.

So, I close this bug, it is not worth keeping it in bugzilla forever.
