Nope. I can write EN text with the FR language defined for character formatting. The language (format) information is thus very important. I'd like to keep that in the status bar. Very useful for people writing multi-language documents (translators, international organizations members). *For draw/impress* https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/3/33/Current_LO_draw_impress_status_bar.png object description. is this a description like shape or line. if so do we need this.

RE: [libreoffice-design] questions about the status bar
Hello, Can we get off the language thing, I thought I already stated that I understand how people would need it with the first responce. It can stay, but can we abbreviate it so it takes up less space? Now that we are past the language section can we discuss the feast of my email? Digital signature, document modification, insertion mode, selection mode, and all the other sections I talked about. Are these sections and others still useful, should they be there, should they be removed or placed in other locations?
