It frequently marks the text as red in my native language but never in English (unless there is a real error in the text). Anybody know why? See image below...

[Warning: I don't use Heliboard]

It's clearly spellchecking for English, when you need it to do so for Swedish. Based on that, I think that it is missing the Swedish dictionary, that you'll need to download separately.

This official page confirms that Heliboard does have support spell checking for multiple languages, and explains how to download and install a dictionary. To keep it short:

  1. download the Swedish dictionary
  2. Go to "language" settings, click on "Svenska", then the "+" next to "dictionary". Then select the file that you've downloaded.

[Side note: your sample text made me crave some coffee. I didn't.]

Lol. And thank you for the advice! I'll try this out asap.

Problem still persists.

Added both the English and Swedish dictionary to the respective languages in Heliboard. I'm using GrapheneOS so maybe I can't find the proper setting in settings.

Did you switch keyboard languages? If the keyboard language is set to something other than what you are typing in it will underline it (essentially throwing an error).

As far as I can tell Heliboard does not have a global spellcheck, you can't add multiple languages and have it spellcheck anything but the selected language.

Damn, that's a shame. :/
