Hello, Spellcheck is not supposed to "Keep" any language persistent! When it finishes checking errors, it will give you a message about "checking is complete" and, when you click OK, it will show [None]. Please consult help documents. You may see official help about spell check here(https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/06010000.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3149047) or search https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/questions/.
Well, this is rather a question for the design team. Would the majority of users benefit, if the last language selection in the Spelling dialog was remembered during the session? What are the risks? Can users be confused, if the language *is* remembered? The exact scenario is: 1. Have two dictionaries installed (let's say English and German) 2. Have a Writer document with the document language set to German (Tools - Language - For all text) 3. In the Tools - Spelling dialog, change the language to English from the dropdown, close and reopen the dialog
The spelling dialog (F7) will always checks words in the formatted language of the characters/paragraph. And the drop-down menu is not supposed the change this behaviour but to correct an unknown word to its corresponding language (DF).

Yeah, I guess it would become too complicated to try and fit in this use case.
