Hell all,

If it is just about troublesome language handling pleaase have a look at
the following spec (things should become easy):
 
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/linguistic/Set_Language_Attribute_for_Text.odt

And wait for OOo 2.4 where it will become available.

Or, if you can't wait, get the latest developer build and get a sneak
preview.
