Just applied it and did some fast tests. It seems to work.

I tested German and English.

There only seems to be a problem with words that start with a umlaut like
"ähnlich" or "übrigens". The spell checker simply ignores the first
character.

Yes, it looks very promising. Just some points for the todo-list in case
they are missing: :)

 - presenting all languages is quite a long list and one has to search a
specific language. It would be easier if one could select some preferred
languages and the other languages are either not displayed or are moved to
a sub menu (i.e. "other languages >")

 - one cannot yet select a default language? Maybe balsa could use the
system language as default.

Thanks!
