Hi

Here is what I have in my ~/.vimrc to:

- toggle on/off spelling checker by pressing F8
- rotate though the spelling languages that I use
by pressing F7

Changing it to use other languages should be trivial:

if has('spell')
set spell

if has('eval')
" Rotate through languages of spelling checker.
let g:myLangIdx = 0
let g:myLangCodes = [ "en_us", "eo", "fr", "it", "br", "nl" ]
let g:myLangs = [ "language:", "lingvo:", "langue :", "lingua:",
"yezh:", "taal:" ]
function! MySpellLang()
let g:myLangIdx = g:myLangIdx + 1
if g:myLangIdx >= len(g:myLangs) | let g:myLangIdx = 0 | endif

exe "setlocal spell spelllang=" . g:myLangCodes[g:myLangIdx]
echo g:myLangs[g:myLangIdx] g:myLangCodes[g:myLangIdx]
endf

map <F7> :call MySpellLang()<CR>
imap <F7> <C-o>:call MySpellLang()<CR>
endif
map <F8> :set spell!<CR>
endif
