User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 Build ID: 20120601175215 Steps to reproduce: I am Ukrainian, so I type half of my texts in russian and other half in english (many people also write in Ukrainian, which should be also kept in mind). Actual results: Switching spell-checking language right now via context-menu is really hard to do. Expected results: I don't think I can right now propose solution that would be both good and easy to implement.

One of good enough solutions is to provide mechanism to choose multiple dictionaries at the same time, not just one. There's actually ru+eng dictionaries available already, but they need installation, not available "out of the box" and still only solve problem for ru+en people.
QA Whiteboard: [DUPEME]

Someone could port https://addons.mozilla.or/firefox/addon/automatic-spelling-language/ to Firefox - it is MIT/X11 Licensed and could work as a stopgap to better support.

Severity: normal → S3
