This is a very irritating "feature". I have read the attached documents, but
obviously it is not working as specified. My spreadsheet is defaulting to
English, but I sometimes have cells with Finnish text, usually just a couple of
words long.

I have only the standard OOo3.0 dictionaries installed plus I have added the
Finnish Voikko dictionary. But I continually get told that a misspelled Finnish
text is "Word is Portuguese", or like now "Word is Swahili".

Obviously the language guessing is broken, because it isn't guessing correctly.
And how is it possible to determine "Word is Swahili" if the feature needs a
sentence? - "(Provided the text is long enough for language guessing to work
properly. Usually about a sentence is enough.)"

Many multilingual documents will just have sprinkling of a few foreign words,
not huge blocks of text. In these cases why on earth would I want it to guess
languages (wrongly) which I don't have installed? At the least there should be a
way to disable this or limit it to the installed languages.
