NO the manager class EXCEPTS to only be working with one document. The
main reason right now is due to the store_repl method but I am sure
other reasons will come up. Please keep in mind the the manager class
will generally not take up very much space as it will share dictionaries
as appropriate.
Multilingual support might be added in the future once the other parts
are working. Also left it is the ability to spell check regions of text
and not just words. That will also be added in the future and will be
similar to what it was in our earlier dission when I first brought this
up a couple of months ago.
