  1. Re:Evolution actually working? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    Evolution can switch spelling on-the-fly, and even do multiple language spelling.

    pidgin however still has the problems you describe, the FAQ/help has the following to say about that

    How do I change the language for the Highlight Misspelled words option?

    Pidgin currently only supports spell checking in your locale language. This is because gtkspell 2 does not offer a good way for us to know which dictionaries are available or to switch between them. This functionality has long been promised for gtkspell version 3, which has been delayed somewhat indefinitely. See gtkspell.sf.net.

    There is, however a simple plugin called switchspell that can change the spell check language on a per-buddy basis.
