Dear community, I am sure this has been reported again by other users. When using spell check the application should instantly suggest spelling corrections to any of the words written that are incorrect regardless of what the language is and not asking the user to select a dictionary of the selection or the paragraph... Of course this presupposes that the relevant dictionary for this language is downloaded and installed. In my case I am from Greece. By default the application has English spell check ernabled. I also downloaded and installed Greek language from: http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/hellenic-greek-dictionary-spell-check-and-hyphenation Note: the one that is offered from libreofficre site is not the official one and it is an offer by some people that like to revive the grammar like it was some years ago (multiple toning system whereas this has been abandoned and now we use only one tone above some letters). By not providing this you do not attract users on the contrary you discourage them to use this suite. On linux I use WPS Office and at my work I inevitably use Microsoft Office. Both of them offer what I described above. I think it is wise enough not to settle for anything less... Another suggestion could be to enable a functionality or the installation of a file like Firefox does: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greek-english-spell-dictionary/ This is a combined English and Greek dictionary and allows you to do what is described above when composing a mail on gmail or yahoo for example.. At your disposal to discuss this further. With respect George Nikolakopoulos
Let's ask design team for their insight.

Hmmm, not sure if I understand correctly what you mean, but it seems that you did not define the language in the paragraph or character style. I often write text mixing French and English and I do not have problem with the spell checking which uses the appropriate dictionaries (base language + specialized dictionaries in this language) for each word.

Don't know why this ticket ends in component Extension. But you may have a look there. http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/ Following Jean-Baptiste I close this ticket as WONTFIX. Please set with your style accordingly when mixing different languages.
