I don't think you can be selective. It's one language or all. Of course, this might cause problems if a word in Italian happens to be exactly the same as the way that you misspell a word in English (and no, I can't think of an example).
Of course, even selective languages wouldn't make spell checking fool proof; many is the time I've misspelled an English word as *another* English word (not because I can't spell, but because I can't type very well), or simply got the grammar and syntax a bit messed up by cutting and pasting, and the spell checker of course passes it as being fine. Bottom line: we mere mortals still have to take some responsibility for our spelling -- or lack thereov.
