I think the spellchecker should not do any guessing and switching. As long as 
we are using LaTeX, languages simply need be marked properly.

A nice feature, though, would be a language dropdown in the spellchecking pane 
which does not only indicate the current language, but which can also be 
altered. This then would change the selection's language. This is useful in 
cases where you have forgotten to mark some words.
