:help spell in vim7 gives the "general" information To set spell-check by default for certain filetypes you can write your own ftplugin files that contain the line set spell For more information on this see :help filetype-plugin I doubt vim can auto-detect the (human) language of a file, but you can always put some mappings in your .vimrc to switch quickly between languages: map <F4> :set spell!<CR>:set spell?<CR> " Toggle spelling set to <F4> nmap \sg :setlocal spell spelllang=de_20 <CR> " German spelling nmap \sa :setlocal spell spelllang=en_us <CR> " American spelling Good luck!
