Empathy doesn't let me switch between dictionary languages per chat window.

[Duncan Lithgow]

Binary package hint: empathy

I regularly chat in English (en-gb, see bug 445863) and Danish at the same time. A number of words can be spelt wrongly, but because they are valid in the other language, they show up as spelt correctly. The right-click spelling menu should allow me to specify which language an IM chat is using and then only check that dictionary. See the Firefox implementation for a good implementation.

(Want to know something funny? 'Firefox' is not in the en-gb spelling dictionary of, yes, Firefox!)
