I would rather just see it work for all installed language dictionaries
by default. There's no particular reason to make the user change their
language in so many ways. For most users, I think this will work best.
There might be some performance problems for people who install an
extraneous amount of languages, but I don't think most people do that,
and the performance issues probably wouldn't be that big of a deal
anyway.
