Adding the comment from issue 69451 about the reasoning for removing the "spell
in all languages" option:


b) Much more crucial however is that "spelling in all languages" is actually a
very bad idea with grammar checking. A good grammar checker needs to rely on the
analysis of the sentence thus e.g. it needs to identify verbs, nouns, object,
subject etc.
And if the spelling errors are not fixed first the grammar checker can not
properly do those tasks (the severity of this might differ from language to
language though). That's also the reasoning why the dialog always displays the
spelling errors first and only after those the grammar errors.
If you would now have a French word in an English sentence the grammar checker
can not make sense of it, and if by "spelling in all languages" enabled that
French word is not marked as incorrect by the English spell checker because it
is known by the French spell checker then it may happen that some grammar error
may slip through unnoticed because the grammar checker can not find it with that
misspelled word. And that would contradict the whole idea/effort put into
grammar checking.
