Comment #18 on issue 1834 by vtolkov: Feature Request: Spell-checker should  
automatically detect the language to use.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1834

I would vote against taking language from OS.

First, people do not switch layouts when switching from English to French.  
Really.

Second, if we use two languages with different alphabets, for example,  
English and
Russian, it is so nice to use custom combined layouts where two sets are  
joined into
one layout and CapsLock is used as modifier (yes, Windows supports that).  
 From OS
point of view it will be one language. So some alternative switchers can be  
broken.

Third, what about clipboard? We can have mixed text in it.

We may know potential set of languages from browser settings, but it would  
be much
more convenient, if we can detect current language just from characters.
