Spell-checking - Automatic language switching + option to manually define languages for spell-checking #469

I write emails in multiple languages and I always use spell-checking, but because of a lack of automatic language switching something native to Chromium-based browsers, but I am not sure how and if it integrated in Electron. They even work in this magical way that they can do like multi-lingual spell-checking at once, e.g. I am writing in English, and I include a quote in French. In those browsers it would underline only a typo, regardless of language.
I have to always switch it manually via RMB > Languages, otherwise everything is underlined and it is little distracting. But then again, Mozilla has a ticket for this open for well over 21 years and still counting. We don't exist for them.

Also, it would be sweet to have a language setting in ElectronMail to be able to define languages to be used. Currently, in my instance of EM, I see four English locales (en_CA, en_LR, en_PH, en_US) and French and German (it looks like it is using languages defined in OS (Windows 10).

What I personally think would be the perfect solution is something like it is done in Chromium (screenshot took from Brave, however)

I am not sure if this is possible, viable or worth the time, but hopefully there will be others finding this useful.
