Is there a COMBINED word list, language pack, for example a list with both English and Dutch words?

In the Netherlands we very often mix Dutch and English and sometimes German into one document or data entry etcetera. I am getting a little tired of changing the language every 30 seconds to check my spellings errors. I would like ONE list/language-pack with all English, and German and Dutch words in it. Is there such a list, or can I make one myself?

By the way, I know this less would be less accurate, since I can make a typo in an English word that could possibly create a correctly spelled Dutch or German word, but I am willing to take that disadvantage.

Never seen a combined spellcheck dictionary. Probably have to build it yourself.

Thank you. If nobody has done this before, I will make an effort to make such a list. I really think there is a demand for it.

I found one program that does this. But, unfortunately, it is not really a word processor program. It is the Notepad++ computer software source file editor. If you use the plug-in DSpellCheck you can set the language to Multiple languages. If you then go to the submenu Set Multiple Languages, you will get a form with chechboxes. You check every language you allow in the document you are creating.
