Well, I'd probably notice fast enough to switch the section.  I only want
to unify languages with the same script.

E.g.:

That's interesting. Also what Benct said about ö in German an Swedish.

Hmm, I do search by ordering of the right language, but the language
of the words I search through does not enter my consciousness, so I
continue searching even in the wrong part until I finally don't find
any word.  Then I notice and switch the section.

So I conclude that for me it would be best if the Spanish words use
Spanish sort order and the English words English order.  I.e.:

church
curar
cure
chupar

And in Swedisch/German:

Öl
Osten
öl
