Yes, this currently only works with pspell builds. Type "color colour Farbe"
3x - 1 with en-US, 1 with en-GB, 1 with de-DE.
There is no reason why ispell couldn't/shouldn't be made to do this too. The
complexity involved might be a little high, but all it really means is
probably creating some stateful struct to pass to all of the ispell
functions too.
struct {
// all of ispell globals go here
// and this struct gets kept in an instance of ISpellChecker
} IspellState;
I'd also like to add "Language" to the right-click menu on a word, so that
you can change the lang of a run of text more easily.
