I frequently have English and French in the same document and miss the 
ability to select languages for document parts.

It seems to me that since I specifically use a \setlanguage {} in my 
TeX document, a spellchecker should not get lost.

For the moment I use OS X's built-in spellchecker set on 
"multilingual". It won't catch all mistakes (a word spelled in English 
set in a French sentence is not flagged, etc.) but for me it is better 
than creating a new file each time I switch language.

I use it for my mail to and sometimes it shows ;-)
