Hello, Sakari,
Yes it is possible. However I am not 100% sure that in the stable
abiword it worked exactly like the way I'm going to describe how I
tested:
First line: Olá
It got a red squiggle underneath because the language is english
Third line: Hello
No red squiggle.
Select first line, Menu Tools -> Set Language -> Portuguese
Red Squiggle disappeared.
Judging on how it works, maybe Set Language should belong to the
Format menu?
