Aha... this is a good idea! That might well be the good use case for the
alternate language option that we have... Pretty easy to implement as well.
     
I think the spellchecker should not do any guessing and switching.


This is not about guessing, this is about checking with one language, 
then the other one, no magic in there. This could be made optional of 
course.
Quite frankly I hate having to always switch between French and English 
in Thinderbird or LyX.

  As long as
we are using LaTeX, languages simply need be marked properly.
   

Sure, if some words is checked to be correct in the second language 
without being marked in this second language, then LyX would propose tho 
mark this text with the correct language 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.
   

This too yes.
