Also, having the option to disable hints from other languages would help a lot. (I personally get a lot of hints from swahili, africaans, and albanian. But I understand french and english.) One way to do this would be to have a list of languages authorised for hints. Hints from all installed languages could be useful as well. (i.e., a word could be missing from the language intended, but if it appears only as a hint from another language, the user will never know that it is missing from the intended language. In which case the user would prefer to add the missing word.) It would be nice to be able to select 2 (or more) languages simultaneously, as well. (e.g. english and some other language for computer-related documents, or glossaries with descriptions in one language and keywords in anothers.) Ideally one could select a primary language, with one or more secondary languages, where words not in the primary language but in a secondary language would be underlined in, say, blue instead of red. That of course would be a more important enhancement. Note that I use calc much more than writer. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I agree that the language selection feature in Writer is very convenient, a great improvement of that in Calc [Although it is inconvenient that my two installed dictionaries are not always available without first selecting Other (for example, sometimes I have the choice between US English and French, whereas I am normally using UK English and French) - have not figured this out yet.] In Calc, for now I seem to get only either English or French (the two dictionaries I installed) as default, and can laboriously change for all or part according to your clarification, thus basically satisfied. I have not yet experienced the trouble that Calc guesses extraneous languages, but agree with jodyfanning that this could be very inconvenient. Since I have your ear (sorry if I am bending the rules), I would like to make some comments on use of Calc as a fresh user: * Spell check doesn't work in notes * Difficulty in positioning cursor in notes (several clicks sometimes needed) * Can't seem to drag value from one cell to a distant one (intermediate cells also affected) * Special paste to erase only the note also erases the value * Have not found how to remove a hyperlink * System is in general very low in moving and setting pointer and in displaying values (1 sometimes 2 seconds delay, nothing like in Excel where you get the feeling of immediate response). I guess that some or most of these are already intentified, but would appreciate your general or specific comments. I will be monitoring carefully and participating in the future.

It seem to be a broken feature. Especially when the detection is only supposed to work when there is an entire sentence, but it tries when there is only one word. I would much rather it told me that it was a unknown word than guess it is an entirely different language that I don't even have installed. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

But after trying in Writer I am not sure that making all the other apps match Writer is that much of an improvement. The language handling as a whole is quite broken. For example I have about 4 languages installed. But I only use two. But in order to get to Finnish (from English) I have to scroll through all the English variants and all the French variants, along with every other language OOo knows about before I can get to Finnish. It would be nice that the selection didn't show languages that are not installed. It would also be nice if it was possible to order the languages. The shortcut menu from the status bar only shows one language (the default) at the moment. If it was possible to sort the languages it would be nice if that showed the first few from the sorted list. And for some reason I can't uninstall the French and Spanish dictionaries. The uninstall option is disabled. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

You are a very good example for my theory that treating the language attribute as a part of the text formatting (and especially as a part of the Font tab page) is a bad design. It's not intuitive and usually people are just used to it. IMHO the other things discussed in this issue can be ignored - they either were misunderstandings or a matter of personal taste. We think that the way that language guessing and settings works in Writer is as it should be. Please correct me if I'm wrong. So I took the liberty to adjust issue type, target milestone and summary accordingly. @sba: if you are OK with that, please pass this issue to tl for further considerations. I don't want to set high expectations, the implementation of this enhancement is not done in a few days. But maybe we can find a slot of it in the near future or an interested developer elsewhere. This issue is on our public to do list in the OOo wiki that is also available for the OOo internship program. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
