While Walter's advice about checking spelling with the Google toolbar
can be useful for some languages (I believe it works for English,
German, Spanish, French, and Swedish, maybe I missed one?), it won't
be useful for everybody else -- what is a Hindi Wikipedian or a Xhosa
Wikipedian to do for spellchecking?
Certainly, ispell libraries are a much more appealing option because
they support a huge list of languages, and it's not extremely
difficult to add more.

This function can be useful. But now whit the
google toolbar for Firefox
you can do very easy spell checking. For IE is there also a version. The
need is reduced.
In my understanding google toolbar supports only English. Does pspell
support other languages? And there is people who don't want to install
google toolbar anyway.

Pspell (
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pspell.php) uses the GNU Aspell
library and Aspell claims to support quite a few languages:
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/man-html/Supported.html
I have tested my prototype a little with Spanish:
http://66.205.125.240/spell/index.php/User_talk:192.168.1.101
But you won't be able to test it since you can't change $wgLanguageCode.
