What about applying language detection at a paragraph level and handling, 
loading/unloadng of rules accordingly?

We could, then, fire up an options setting for treating foreign language 
paragraphs. Something like:

foreign language paragraphs:
* ignore (faster)
* apply home language correction (fast)
* apply auto detected language 
* apply this language (follows a selectable list of supported languages)

So, if I'm writing a doc in Italian with English paragraphs in it I could set 
Italian as a primary language and indicate that the undetected paragraphs fall 
back to English. If I know that I will be using lots of quotations form other 
languages I can leave the ignore option on and not check them at all.

Ciao

Paolo
