I will add an option to selectively install / remove "writing aids" (this 
includes spell checkers) for each language. However, I don't see any 
possibility to use more than one spell checker if you type in multiple 
languages. This would be a useful feature, but it would need to be implemented 
in the application you want to use. Currently all language related functions 
are influenced by the environment locales.
Means, if your locale is set to es_ES, then only the Spanish spell checker will 
be used in any application which gets started from that environment. If you 
want to use the en_GB spell checker, then you would need to start your 
application in the en_GB environment. For example:

$ LANG=en_GB oowriter &

But then the UI for that application would probably be also in English.

If you want to be able to switch between spell checkers on the fly in a
running application, that I'm afraid that application would need to be
modified to allow this. Language-selector won't be able to help here.

Would the function to selectively install / remove "Writing Aids" in
language-selector be sufficient to close this bug report?
