--- Comment #72 from Michael Bauer <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #70) > The suggestion is to make the function optional by > a) adding "[ ] Detect languages" (off by default) to Tools > Options > > Languages and Locale > Enhanced Language Support, > b) show document languages in the dropdown and require user to pick one from > the character dialog (as today and like MSO does), and > c) sort the results according comment 55. > d) do not add recent languages (across sessions), Agnostic re a), making it easier to find sounds like a good thing. Re b): I repeat, the Character Dialog is a shit place for selecting document languages, it requires a lot of clicking about and is totally counter-intuitive for non LO UI devs. No other word processing software I've ever worked with ties the locale selection in with font/character selection. Re: c)/d) fine, but I still don't see how that fixes the problem for a user form whom a) (language detection) fails and/or those who just don't want the software to guess the languages used because it gets it wrong too often (not just LO) and who can be bothered checking if a 48 page document has bits where Spanish has been mis-identified as Hungarian? As in, back to the user case which actually brought on this 8 year old thread: I want to tell LO what the document/paragraph/selection language is in a) less than 3 clicks and b) less than 3 seconds and c) without a degree in software development when LO does not make sensible default suggestions? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
