I love my iPhone 6 🙂 But I'm fully bilingual in Spanish and in English, and about 50% of my emails are in each language. Here's the problem. While my iPhone is in English, every time I write an email in Spanish, every single word it automatically changes to the closest English word! Argh! And as if this wasn't bad enough, unless I click on the "quoted" option, it just keeps doing it grrrr. This makes writing in the other language very, very tedious – to the point where I can't.
I'm wondering if there's a way to configure iOS or the dictionary or an app or something so that the spelling suggestions can use the dictionaries from both languages together, or something else that achieves that effect?

You have to activate the corresponding keyboards on Settings > General > Keyboards > Keyboards. Then when writing on each language, tap the world icon to the left of the space bar to switch between languages. The spelling check, prediction and dictionaries will be independent. The voice recognition also switches with it.
If you keep the globe pressed, a list will pop up, and you can chose the language directly.
Esto me da una buena excusa para escribir en español (mientras no exista un "Pregunta Diferente").
As you see from the screen-grab, no spelling suggestions are made to my Spanish phrase because I had the Spanish keyboard activated while writing it. However, if I go back and tap on it with the English keyboard activated, it will get red all over.
