Why try to completely reinvent the wheel when it's already a "solved problem"?
Why mess with near-perfection?
The Language column is simple, understandable, human-readable, and most importantly, works the exact same way as the Spellcheck List works now. It's a straight enhancement.
Trying to overload the
Words column with "lang-goop: word" makes the actual purpose of the column—displaying the word—more obtuse, and puts the lang front-and-center.
Calibre duplicated Sigil's Spellcheck Lists + added enhancements (like Multi-Language spellchecking)...
So can Sigil copy back from Calibre + make enhancements (like being able to search within a language).

Anyway, since I'm one of the more bigger users/proponents of multi-language spellchecking, I'm making myself available for a video chat if you want to discuss this stuff.
Probably easier to iron out a lot of use-cases + potential usability issues and pitfalls over video/audio.
And I'd love to help make Sigil the best it can be.
I'll send you a PM later today.
