You have two ways to change the spelling language: The little menu next to the "Spelling" button and the context/right-click menu in the message body.

Do we really need a third way?

I agree with you in that we already provide two ways of changing the language. And in general this should be sufficient. 

However, changing the language with a simple single click on the language in the bottom right would be faster and somehow I expect something to happen when clicking on the language. Might only be my expectation though...

I'll make this a forward duplicate since there is more information in the other bug.
