Question posed here:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=418838
Stated as follows:
I write in four languages, sometimes I use more than one language in the
same document.
The spellcheckers of the languages used do work. But there are several
deficiencies to the language selection mechanism which I explain by
examples:
The immediately visible language list starts with the language of the OO
Installation i.e.German (Germany) which you cannot change. Then there is
the language of your area, in my case German (Switzerland).
If I want to change to US English, I have to browse from Australia via
another 12 counties before I get to US English. After this my
immediately visible language list has 3 languages, German (D), German
(CH) and English (US).
Now I select a paragraph or an arbitrary chunk of text and want this to
be Italian. So I click "More" and what a surprise: I am offered the menu
to select a font. So temporarily I have to select Italian for the whole
document in order to spellcheck the Italian part. After that I want to
continue in English, but English has been replaced by Italian in the
immediately visible list. So again I have to click “More” and then again
I browse from Australia to the US.
[b]I propose:[/b]
- Let the user define an immediately visible list of languages of his
choice.
- Repair the problem with the selection of paragraphs and other text
selections and doing so
- offer the possibility to change language “From here to the Begin” and
“From here to the End”.
