The feature to follow the current system keyboard/language/layout/whatever
setting to set the language in a document/paragraph is reasonable - this is how
OO3 works and some users may appreciate it.
The feature to keep the language in a document/... as it is set independently on
any system setting is reasonable too - this is how OO2 worked and some users (me
inclusive) would like to use OO3.
But these two features together seem clashing.
What about this behaviour: When I *change* the system *keyboard/...* setting and
I *directly* start to *write* I get the system keyboard/... language in my
document/.... In all other cases (especially I *set* the *language* in my
document *manually* or *move* a cursor to some place and then start to *write*)
I keep the current document/... language.
Generally:
I think to set this automation optional (as some users propose) would save lots
of people lots of problems and time (this and other discussions inclusive).
To deduce the users' intentions from some system settings (e.g. the system
keyboard/... is set to Czech hence the user will write in Czech) is risky. I
usually use the Czech system keyboard/... to write English texts just because it
is possible (OK - it is possible elsewhere than in OO3 8) and I do not think I
do something wrong. I understand I could set my system to support the English
layout in the Czech keyboard but I just do not want to do this. The same way you
could deduce that because there is Microsoft Word installed in the system the
document shall be saved as a Microsoft Word document.
Whenever the arguments say "the user shall/have to do something this way" the
thoughts probably go the wrong way. There usually is more than one way to do
things.
