In a document that is predominantly in one language, you might define one language for proofing the document as a whole, then use a character Style set for proofing in the other language and apply that to any text in the other language. In a document that mixes two or more languages with none being truly dominant, you might define separate paragraph Styles for each language as well.

Thanks. Mine is actually worse that that! It's more or less like a Spanish-English dictionary. Although English words dominate, there are just too many Spanish words scattered around. I can't highlight each Spanish word on each page and apply a separate style to them. Well, I can, but it would take too long.

I thought about cramming a small Spanish dictionary into the custom dictionary. But that would only contain words in their dictionary forms (e.g., palabra would be included but not palabras).
