------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Apr 3 06:22:40 +0000 2009 ------- Ye, now I see the George's point: he's on Linux where there is no input *language* present (at least, in his flavour of Linux) and only input keyboard layout is present ;-). We are keeping a small holywar on this topic at another place, too. There is generally no such stuff in today's global world as "language of *document*". There are exceptions, of course. > I add the fourth, it wouldn't be very convenient to switch between them But how the h...l are you going to tell the word processor that "this word in the sentence is in language1, that paragraph is in language2, those two are in language3"? You have to have something referring to *all* the relevant languages. For Windows, it is "language of input"; I don't know if there is some equivalent in Linux. If there is none then some different approach should be taken in Linux. And, actually, the right one would be not "lets limit the functionality of OOo to the least common denominator between Linux, Windows, Solaris, MacOS, ..." but to wrtie an input language switcher for Linux instead. IIRC there were no keyboard layout switchers at the beginning of the life, either. So my suggestion for improvement of backward compatibility is: introduce one more choice "Default languages for documents" combobox: [autodetect]. If this option is selected then apply the current functionality of the 1035 fix, if not then fall back to OOo2.4- behaviour. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
