I find that putting the language information in styles in a real pain, as then I have to have double sets of styles, and switch between them constantly (most of my documents are mixed Hebrew/ English, usually with mixed paragraphs). After all, the whole idea of styles is to deal *less* with formatting, not more as it is now when languages are managed by styles.

You can just make a new character-style, based on the default. Only change the language attribute. You can apply that style to any word, regardless in which paragraph-style it is written. Want to remove the language-atribute? Select word/paragraph/ .. and choose Format|Default.
Might not be ideal, but not so diffucult as well. Is it?

Regards,
Cor
