Description
I often write documents in either English or French (sometimes with a mix), but it appears that visual mode only supports a single language.
VSCode has various extensions for checking spelling, e.g., Code Spell Checker, and they support many languages (edit: at the same time).
So, I am asking for a feature that is more flexible. Perhaps by integrating Code Spell Checker settings, perhaps by using the lang: from the YAML of the current document.
Thanks as usual for the Quarto progress! I'm happy to see visual mode in VSCode 😄

Research direction
Start by locating the VSCode visual mode spell-checking integration and checking how it currently selects a single language. Compare the requested Code Spell Checker settings and the current document YAML lang value, then verify that mixed English and French documents can use multiple spell-checking languages.
