--- Comment #3 from ady <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #2) > > Ady, the status bar shows the language for the document, but it is possible > to set a cell's language via direct formatting: right-click > Format > Cells... > Font > Language. > Spellcheck should respect that "direct formatting" language, but if it is > not set, it will use the default document language. * The status bar shows the language for the whole document, and it also allows to go directly to the Options dialog. * There is no way to set different languages for each worksheet separately (i.e. changing the status bar setting will change it for all worksheets / entire workbook at once). * The spell check tool allows to set a different language for each word / expression, but the spell check dialog is always for the document’s language. * Each cell has _font_ language, but also _number_ format language. * Each word / term within each cell could be set to a different language than the cell when running the spell check tool. All these amount to some confusion for common users. In other words, users need to have "enough experience" with all these features in order to overcome the impression that some of these don't work, and then to be able to use them "correctly". We can agree that spreadsheets might not be ideal tools for handling a mix of multiple languages, but when there is some need for it, the current UX might not be so intuitive / evident as some of us might think. (Side note: an example of this confusion could be seen in bug 154374 posted by the same reporter, Hugh. That report should/will be NAB, but it is not so clear for a common user how to use the language features in Calc "correctly".) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
