Bug ID: 96988
Summary: The place to set the language for the document is
ridiculously undiscoverable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Note: I noticed this on Calc but it's probably common to all LibreOffice
applications.
When I want to set the language for the current document,
the most reasonable place where I'd expect to find the setting is under
File/Properties. That's where all other properties of the document are (or if
any other is missing, that's an issue), so why on earth shouldn't the language
be there, given it's a property of the document.
That's probably the *only* sensible place.
When not find it there, I'd look for it under the Edit menu (expecting to find
something like "document settings" or something) and my last desperate guess
would be under Tools/Language. At that point, I give up and GOOGLE for it.
It turns out you need to go to Tools/Setting, where you usually set general
settings that are global to the application, not specific to the current
document, so it's unlikely one would even look there.
There, you have to edit the "Default language for documents" settings and check
the checkbox "apply only to current document". That's a cumbersome,
conterintuitive, and totally undiscoverable place for such a setting.
