Hello, Alexey.
I don't think that this is possible currently; we must first move to using
unicode internally. I understand that this is planned for sometime soon...

Actually, it's quite easy I think. The spellchecking is controlled from
src/frontends/controllers/ControlSpellcecker.C.
ControlSpellchecker::setParams() creates an instance of aspell/ispell for the
set language of the buffer. Eg
tmp = (lyxrc.isp_use_alt_lang) ?
lyxrc.isp_alt_lang : buffer()->params.language->code();
speller_ = new PSpell(buffer()->params, tmp);
Thereafter, this class iterates over the buffer contents and passes each word
to speller_. All we'd have to do is interrogate the language of each word.
if (word's language == buffer language)
pass the word to speller_
else
create a new aspell/ispell instance for this language
and pass the word to it.
Looks like the only problems are bookkeeping ones.
