This is definitely a bug, because layout does *not* imply typing
language, as OP says.

It is also surely the most important missing feature of the OSK. Lots of
us are in this frustrating situation, having to choose between the right
layout and the right dictionary.

Title:
  The osk shouldn't assume that active layout = language in use

Status in ubuntu-keyboard:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The topic came while discussing
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LanguageAndText#phone-spelling

  It's quite frequent for users to stick to the keymap they know and use
  it to type in different language. By example a french user is going to
  use an azerty keymap even when writting english bug reports (example
  right here ;-)

  The current code makes the assumption that you want to spellcheck in
  the language matching the current keyboard layout, that's not true and
  should be changed. The design indicated earlier allows selecting
  several language which would be nice (so somebody using both his
  language and english could select both and not need to go change the
  settings between e.g emails)
