--- Comment #19 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- There is a feature in LibreOffice to use system input language to set language of typed text. It is implemented currently on Windows and on Qt5 (bug 108151). Where it is implemented, it is a reliable and unambiguous feature, making use of input switch performed by user. That is widely used by any user who uses keyboard layouts that require switching (e.g., bilinguals using a Cyrillic and Latin alphabets) - they have keyboard shortcuts like Shift+Alt in muscle memory. But those who typically use same layout roe different languages (Roman languages), often don't even know that such a feature exists, and for them, some magic is expected detecting that their one-character "a" is in some specific language. We already have a "magic" "detecting" possible language of a text, that works when you work with Tools->Language menu, and also when you have a spellcheck error. The list of offered languages is created based on statistical fingerprint heuristics, and we already have multiple bugs showing how unreliable and random that detection is (see e.g. bug 139185 comment 4). I would think that implementing this proposal is only reliably possible by employing mind-reading elf farm serving requests from LibreOffice in real time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
