    It might do it automatically if you go to system preferences/keyboard/text/spelling and use Set Up to check the boxes for the two languages and then set it to automatic.  Otherwise you can normally set the dictionary in Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.

     

    Some non-Apple stuff like Word or OpenOffice does its own thing, you need to consult their Help for info.
