... and it's quite easy to create one-click-solutions  ->

(1) Tools -> Macros -> Record Macro ...

(2) Click: Tools -> Language -> For Selection (or 'For Paragraph' or
'For all Text')
and select the desired language [e.g. French (France)]

(3) Stop Recording - name the macro [e.g. 'select_fr'  (for selection
in French)] ...

(4) Tools -> Customize ...
Select the macro and assign a shortcut key [1]
or/and add it to a toolbar [2]

(5) etc. ...
