Could you do it via the Accessibility APIs, perhaps?

I see.
I was planning to build a menulet to speed up switching language, which is kind of annoying, especially when you're writing in a couple of languages, switching all the time... I was actually wondering why no one had done such a menulet before.... probably because it's not doable :)
Thanks for the clarification,
Davide

PS: if ye have any other idea on how to accomplish this, please suggest

I realized the question was not well put.
Basically, I would like to switch the language of the spellchecker of the application in focus. I realize this might be tricky, and probably not doable... That's why I thought about modifying the plist of apps preferences; unless this preference is not stored in a plist...

Modifying the language from outside the application, while it is running, is probably not practicable. The preference is stored in a plist, like other preferences, but it would typically be consulted only when the application starts up; after that, the application's instance of NSSpellChecker maintains the language setting based on the popup in the spelling panel.
