No... we don't want to add a item for all the differenct spell
checkers, the documents language should be translatet to the
spellcheckers notion of the language in the spellchecker module.

Did you check the meanings of the fields?

I'd rather remove one of the fields instead of adding more.
(but then we would need a "babel" module.

|    language-section.
|    If that could be done in LyX too, LyX could use
|    that information with the ispell call (change the
|    ispell-database when a language change appears).

Sure... we would probably like to have several ispells running at the
same time. Some rewrite is needed to accomplish that.
