--- Comment #9 from Mihail Balabanov <m.balabanov at gmail.com> ---
Marking the multi-language words as ‘do not check’ would eliminate any false
positives but also conceal typos when they do exist.

In Bulgarian, we use a hyphen when adding a plural and/or definiteness suffix
to a foreign word or abbreviation in a different alphabet – like ‘DVD-то’ (the
DVD), ‘Oscar-ите’ (the Oscars). Like in the languages mentioned above, the
suffixes are not correct words by themselves. Considering that Estonian uses
the apostrophe for such suffixes, Italian has apostrophe-separated prefixes,
and other languages may have other separators, it makes sense to have a
generalized mechanism to configure the allowed affixes for foreign words –
together with any separators – per language. For example:

aff file:
FOREIGNWORDSFX S
FOREIGNWORDSFXSEP '-' # Would be ’ for Estonian

dic file:
ите/S # valid only immediately after a word in a different language and
separated by ‘-’
