User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100214 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.8

When you see the list of checkboxes you expect multiple selection and it would be nice to get that, but when you select one checkbox, the one that was selected before gets unchecked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write mixed language text like "Move el mouse para la izquierda" 
2.mark any underlined word with right button, go select language and choose spanish and english
3.
Actual Results:  
You will get only the last dictionary  you selected, so some words will be marked as wrong.

Expected Results:  
Everything is a valid spanish or english word, you need to see no underlined text, or the options should not be displayed as set of checkboxes. (my personal preference is the first one)

In a lot of countries there is comun usage of language mixing.
canada with french-english, united states with english-spanish, europe with any combination you want, southamerica with portuguese-spanish, as the world globalize the dictionaries get more crossover.
