I see no reason for the spellchecker does not check any words, most of them belonging to the default language, Nope. Perhaps someone might construct a wordprocessor for the peculiar needs of translators, which would provide functionality of the sort that you imagine. But LyX is not that wordprocessor. It doesn't support a hierarchic handling of languages. A useful handling of spellchecking across two or more languages would require complications of the interface. Moreover, i have never explicitly loaded any vocabulary. I suppose that has been done automatically, after the language name has been entered. Shouldn't be the same, when entering the name of the alternative language? Lyx is not networking software.

Alternative language that i have tried is english Spellchecker works fine, provided that no alternative language has been set. That is the weird case. Thank you paolo m.

There are many spellcheckers supported by LyX and multiple operating systems to which LyX has been ported, and you haven't told us which you use. I urge you to determine which spellchecker you've installed, by selecting Tools > Preferences > Language Settings > Spellchecker Then use a search engine to find the documentation for that spellchecker, and then read its documentation to learn how to install the vocabulary for whatever languages are relevant to your purposes.
Re: weird language management
I had that problem the other day. You probably need to install the appropriate spellcheck dictionaries.

I have noticed that spellchecker does not work, if an alternative language has been given. Is that a bug? paolo m.
