Nope, that doesn't make sense to me. As a non-english native speaker,
some language mixes come in handy -- especially when related to Computer
sciences...

- my private mails are normally just german
- posting on english speaking mailing lists only need english
- posting on german mailing lists sometimes screw up:
Even in my local Linux User Group mailing list there are now and then
quotes from the man-pages (in english).

Does it make sense, to mark the whole qoute as false? ;-)


I have English and German enabled and really love it, not to have switch
languages for every mail. So I would prefer, to have the ability to
enable more than one language in the composer.

btw: There should be no confusion, a checker means, it is not the only
possible option at a time.

Just my thoughts about that...
