Don't you need to restart the spell-checker each time you switch the
dictionaries?  AFAIK, only Hunspell supports such mixed
spell-checking, and with Hunspell you don't need to break the line
into separate words in that case.  With any other spell-checker, you
need to restart it whenever you switch languages.
