I cannot offer this, but have you checked aspell? It has Swiss  
dictionaries for French in its fr package and de_CH-only.rws in its  
de package. I think the ``only´´ component in the file's name means  
that it contains *only* Swiss specialties, so the proper approach  
might be to add this dictionary to the deutsch.alias and the  
deutsch.multi files (and possibly the latter allows to spell-check in  
more than one language, but I am not *the* aspell expert ...).

OTOH, I also know that you can create (make swiss) a Swiss ispell  
dictionary from the sources of the German dictionary (http://j3e.de/ 
ispell/igerman98/dict/, http://j3e.de/ispell/hk2/, http://membled.com/ 
work/patches/ispell/, http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell.html).  
Some Linux versions already offer such a dictionary.
