Description Roland Wolters 2011-08-17 10:26:04 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have to create different e-mails in different languages. Thus I have to switch the language of the spell checker literally every second e-mail. I do this via the menu, where I invoke the spell checking dialog, choose another language and click cancel again.
This should be much easier and faster, right from the composer window. I suggest to add a drop down box or something similar in the lower information bar which anyway shows if the spell checking is turned on or off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a mail in your spell checker's default language
2. Write a mail in another language, and try to change the spell checker's language

Actual Results:  
It takes several, not intuitive clicks to change that.

Expected Results:  
There should be a simple, quick way at least in the menu.

In Composer Window select View -> Dictionary to add the requested drop down box to the tollbars.

Then you can change the spell checker's language with one click.
