Please explain then, why Writer in

Writer > Tools > Language >

should remain (as you claim) bloated? After all, Writer also gives access via
status bar - or does it not?

I did not. I wrote clearly that

And the

Format Cells > Numbers > Locale > Polish

has the same annoying caveat of having to scroll down to the only other
language for which I have installed a dictionary. This is ludicrous, to be
forced to repeat such scrolling every time I need to spellcheck one Polish
sentence which in my files is usually one cell with Polish text surrounded by
plethora of English data


It seems also, that need to repeat myself about accessibility via the status
bar being also dichotomic:

In other words: in Writer its convenient for multi languages users, while in
Calc it is not

And I do no see sense in making two programs be available only as a suite
during installation of all of them, but then crippling one of them by removing
paths to options in its GUI, that could serve the exact same purpose as they do
in the other one - because it leads to users wasting their time on finding
about such differences and then forces them to use their limited brain memory
for remembering those caveats
