Description Милош Поповић 2009-09-15 15:02:47 UTC 
It should be easy to add spell checking now when webkit supports it. Midori browser have alredy implemented this feature in the right way!

Epiphany could look in "Preferences > Language", and could support multiple dictionaries.
"Enable spell-checking" check box could be added there too.

This will close bug 431002, bug 523867 and bug 523868.

We don't have multiple dictionary support yet, but have you tried the context menu of a text area => Spelling and grammar? Is there something missing?
Comment 2 Милош Поповић 2009-09-15 22:57:43 UTC 
There is nothing missing (just that I missed this option) :S I was looking for it in the main menu, not inside the text area.

So,...
It is still good idea to get dictionaries from Preferences > Language for upcomming multiple dictionary support.
