Unfortunately, no. You can set the
langattribute on the input element, say<input lang=de>, but HTML5 drafts do not even suggest that this would affect the spellchecking, and as far as I see, it does not affect it. The selection of the language is to be made by the user, via the browser’s user interface, in a browser-dependent manner.
