Can Chrome automatically detect the input language and change the spell checker?

Reported by rvlasv...@gmail.com, Apr 17 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
I use 3 different languages, and each time i have to manually change the language to make the spell checker useful.

What is the expected behavior?
Can Chrome automatically detect the input language and change the spell checker? 

What went wrong?
scribbly red lines appear as soon as I type in another language than the language that's selected.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.133  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Can't Chrome pick up on the keyboard language i've selected in Windows10? 
Or otherwise recognise the language after typing a few words?

Changing the status of this issue to duplicate, does that indicate the issue does not have any priority?
Did you activate "Use this language for spell checking" for all the languages that you are using? See Settings - Extended Settings (link at the bottom) - Button: Language and Input Settings. 

Duplicate means that your issues was already reported before. So this issue goto linked to the earlier report.

The earlier issue was reported years ago. Why is this issue not fixed yet? According to reports Firefox supports the automatic change of language.

Thanks for the suggestion to activate the spell checker . I can confirm it's activated for all the languages in using. Point is: the language needs to be MANUALLY selected. can this be automated?
I don't know if it was implemented, I'm just a user who had the same issue recently. Activating spellcheckers for both my languages has helped somehow. I see that when I right click onto any word (NOT an underlined one though), I have "Spellchecker" in the context menu. There i can select "All your languages". Did you do that too?

Thanks, the "All your languages" option does it for me. Thanks for sharing!
Cool! Happy to help. I couldn't believe it neither that this still wouldn't work.
