Any advantage of the current system becomes useless if the application would consider the text that it's going written instead fo the input language of the system. For example, my system input language is English. I have some text in Chinese, because I copied it from another document. I paste the text in Chinese on my document: why Writer should consider my system input language instead of the alphabet I pasted? A paradox: if my document is in Chinese, I am using English input system, and I paste some text in Chinese in a new paragraph, the new paragraph will be set to English! See the gif please. Whom is supposed to help such behaviour? In 2024 one can think also to use the vocabularies the user downloaded in order to guess the language of the current paragraph. There is no need of advanced AI for that. And the option "Ignore system input language" could be not only default, but also always active (the option could disappear and nobody will miss it). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
