When OOo checks the spelling of a word (note: word, not paragraph or text) it chooses the spelling dictionary appropriate to the language this single word comes from. This is defined in > Format > Character > Font. This individual language setting normally is set to the default language but can be changed to any other supported language.
So, to perform a spellcheck on a multilingual text you need to select each word that isn't part of the default language and assign the appropriate language in > Format > Character > Font.
However, if you want to set the whole text to a new language, highlight the whole text and change the setting in > Format > Character > Font.
