#13 Spell checking against multiple dictionaries

[Anonymous]

I want to use TexMakerX for editing documents in English and in my native language. Currently when I open a document, I always have to check (and maybe change) spelling dictionary in options. It would be nice, if I could specify two (or more) dictionaries in options dialog, so that spellcheck engine checks all the documents against all the dictionaries, or maybe to have an option to select dictionary from the list in context menu for each opened document.

quick language selection was implemented

And I would like to check the spelling of my document simultaneously against the common English dictionary as well as my English medical terms dictionary. This is possible in LibreOffice with these very same dictionaries, but not in TexStudio. Quick language selection is not a solution to this problem. Therefore, I would suggest reopening this ticket. Thanks.

Where is the "quick language selection"? I expected it at the context menu of the tab, context menu of a mis-spelled word, and the context menu of the white background of the text. I couldn't see it anywhere there.

It's in the status bar (like in LibreOffice and MS Office).

Reposted from discussions:

It would be most useful to simply allow more than one dictionary to operate on an entire file and that this could be simpler (for the user, at least) than having commands triggering different dictionaries for different parts of the text.

This could be through:
% !TeX spellcheck = [dict], [dict]

Or through an option in configuration.

Could this be done? Would it be helpful to have a specific feature request or is there already one for this feature?

Remark: It is possible to merge two dictionaries to create a hybrid dictionary matching both languages. See e.g. http://code.google.com/p/hunspell-merge/
