In that case the better option is to add a big number
of words to one (or more) dictionary, and compile
it using ispell, that is free software.
In any case you can disable the auto spell check.

If you have a huge custom.dic with words of different
languages, spell checking will not be very useful.
Think for example what would happen if you have
the following words in your custom.dic:

personatge (Catalan)
personage (English)
personnage (French)
personaxe (Galician)
personagem (Portuguese)
personaje (Spanish)

If you use different languages it is better you
keep your custom.dic light.
