------- Additional comments from george_y...@openoffice.org Wed Apr 1 17:51:44 +0000 2009 ------- On my PC I have three languages: English (default), Russian and Belarusian. I am a teacher and most of my documents are made in four languages: English, Russian, Belarusian and French. For the French language I use English keyboard with "Compose Special Characters" extension for French diacritics. In OOo 2.x it saved me the necessity to install French as a fourth language on my PC - it is a nightmare to switch more than three languages. When I had OOo 2.x it was easy to compose documents in French with some phrases in Russian or Belarusian. I set French as the language for the document and typed in French using English layout. The language of the document was kept all through the document and if it was necessary, I could change the language settings for Russian (Belarusian) words and sentences manually. In OOo 3.x I can't work with French documents as I have described. For example: I set French as the language of the document and start typing in French. Everything goes OK, then I change to Russian (Belarusian) layout(s) and type some phrases. After that I come back to English layout to type in French but after the first word the language of the document changes to English (system default). Since that moment I can't use French dictionaries for spellchecking - every time I manually set French and OOo switches automatically to English. If now OOo switches languages automatically according to keyboard layout, I suggest: 1) To set such behaviour as default; 2) To make this feature optional; 3) To remove option "Only for this document" which sets the language of the document (it is senseless now); 4) To replace the above option with option "Turn off automatic language switch for this document". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
