Chrome can automatically spell check emails I am writing in Gmail. I have two language installed: Dutch and English in both UK and US versions. And I type emails in both languages regularly. However, that requires me to switch the setting all the time:

Can I have Chrome automatically detect which language I am typing my email in, and automatically pick the correct language for spell checking?

You can enable the beta version of "simultaneous spellchecking in multiple languages".

go to about:flags and enable Enable Multilingual Spellchecker:

This does not seem to be possible currently. See http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95604 at the very bottom. It suggests what you did...

Automatic language detection is now a part of chrome. They completely removed the option to select language and of course automatic part fails to detect the right language often.

So now instead of having to choose the language each time, we have to live without spell check at all until it decides to work again.
