In other words: Writer allows me with just 2 clicks to switch languages on the spot / for one word - while Calc does not In comparison to this, the > menu > Format > Character for parts of text (that has been selected) within > cells is inconvenient, because it requires more clicks and is (as it has been pointed out) inactive when a whole cell is selected. And having to repeatedly scroll down to find on the list Format Cells > Font > Western > Language > Polish in a tedious counterproductive method As for concerns of > I don't really understand how putting the language-country selection for > ranges of cells inside the "Menu > Tools > Options > somewhere" would make it > easier for users.
