Not an answer, but I'd really like for a feature in flyspell to
auto-detect "secondary" languages.  Flyspell could try to count common
English words, and common Swedish words, and chose accordingly.  Or
try to switch dictionary when the failure rate is > 50 %, and see if
the failure rate decreases.  I think this approach would be more
reliable than group parameters.
