Is there any way to have SpellCatcher accept words from more than one dictionary at a time?
I exchange email with some colleagues in Austria, and although I write to them primarily in English,
it would be convenient to be able to mix in a few words or phrases in German without having to switch
SpellCatcher over to German manually and then immediately back to English.
Ist daß möglich?

Check two languages at once?

For interactive checking, the best thing to do is define easy-to-remember keyboard shortcuts for the languages you use most often. There isn't a way to check multiple languages (an interesting concept, but one that would have to be implemented carefully or else many typos would pass as valid words in languages other than the one you were really using at the time).
Check Selection has an option to attempt to automatically determine the most appropriate language, but it sounds like you're using interactive checking...

Wow! Your solution is elegant, easy to use, and completely avoids opening the can of worms that mine would.
Thanks!!

who wasn't aware until now that SC/X possessed the capability to "define easy-to-remember keyboard shortcuts"
