As of version 3.6.10 the spell checking in input text boxes is using only one dictionary. This is very annoying as I am using several languages when composing mail, and fill out forms in different languages on web sites, and now all of a sudden I am forced to switch between my installed dictionaries back and forth. Come on people how do I enable two or three dictionaries to be active on all sites for seamless spell checking without having to re-select?

There is no built-in way to use more than one dictionary at a time. The Dictionary Switcher extension may be of use to you.
