*Description*
-------------
Since OOo2.0 we support language selection via Windows language bar,
but only for Asian and CTL languages. Due to hight demand to support
at least also Greek and Russian (they are considered to be "Western"
languages) this feature was enhanced to now support all types of
languages.
As this will create a problem for all users that don't use the Windows
language bar and want to write english texts with a "latin" type
keyboard (German, French, Italian etc.) the enhancement got a small
restriction: in this case the language reported by the system will be
ignored until the user explicitly switches it at least once.
But after the first usage of the language tool bar every change in it
also switches the language inside OOo. For all other language
combinations the language bar will always override the OOo text
language attribute.
BTW: in case you don't know this feature from using Asian or CTL
languages: the language status bar control will not immediately show
the overridden language, this will happen when something ins entered
via keyboard. But this is not causes by the enhancement, that was so
all the time before.
