No, you just need ONE extra style for each extra language.

I understood that. Yours suggestion works "as is" only if you don't need text both to be in the other language AND use a different custom character style. However, since I already use custom character styles, and you can't have multiple character styles for the same text, I need to make two copies of each of my custom character styles, one for each language.

Sorry, I missed that point. Obviously because I do not use many character-styles in on document.

At any rate, all this is a workaround/hack. In the age of Unicode, applications like OpenOffice.org should be able to handle mixed language documents transparently, with minimal user intervention and without the need to mix content and presentation like this style hack does.

It is not that I disagree, that it can be improved. For the work I do however, using the styles for language is OK.
