Public bug reported:

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)
