--- Comment #12 from Christophe Strobbe <c_strobbe-...@yahoo.co.uk> ---
I reconfirm the bug in LibreOffice Calc 5.2.5.2 on Windows 7 (32 bits). I.e. it
is still not possible to set the language of a spreadsheet or individual cells
through Tools > Language > ..., and there is still no language identification
in the status bar. 

I can think of only one workaround for language identification in cells: 
* Create a new style and give it a name that is based on the language you want
to use it for (e.g. lang_es for Spanish cell content);
* In the cell style dialog, go to the Font tab and set the corresponding
language;
* Define a formatting (under Font, Font Effects, Background, whatever you
prefer) that visually distinguishes the style from styles for other languages.
* After creating the style, you can apply the style to cells to set them to a
certain language (e.g. apply the style lang_es to Spanish content, lang_de to
German content, etc.). When you are done with the content, you can set the
styles to a "normal" formatting (e.g. if Spanish cells had a yellow background,
you can set their background to "No Fill" again).
