Of course you can already assign different languages to different parts of your document and that language will be used for spell-checking, hyphenation and will affect things like autocorrect/autoformat (replacement of typographic quotes for example) Tsk, thank you for pointing that out. Being somewhat accustomed to MS Word, I looked into the wrong area in OOo to find that (just found it to be a drop-down field on the Character- resp. Font-dialog)! - if you choose the language none, no spell-checking, hyphenation is performed. Well, that would be *quite* different from being able to assign a specific language (important, to be able to identify/extract text in a certain language) and determine that that should not be spell-checked, hyphenized or Grammar checked. ---rony

But this is something fundamentally different from displaying different content depending on what language the user uses. A french version of OpenOffice.org would display something different than an english version. This could be simulated by using different sections that are hidden or shown depending on the language the user uses, but this would be a macro-based solution (either by letting the user choose, or by assigning the macro to the open document action) - but this of course requires the user to have macros enabled All in all, I don't quite see the usefulness of a feature that displays different content depending on the language of the surrounding application, but maybe there is a need I just don't see. Also I don't see why a style should be language-dependent, but chances are good, that I just don't understand what is meant with that. (As I understand it, it would be the opposite compared to how OOo now works. The style determines the language that is assigned to the text and not the language of the text determines how it is formatted) ciao Christian - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Such thing does not exist and this feature is not implemented. ODF does not define any multi language support of that kind. In case you wanted to implement language dependent metadata: (basically ;-) ) no problem using custom properties and an own UI to treat them (extension). Treating language dependent text content is harder. In Writer it could be done on section or paragraph level by writing an extension that makes sections or paragraphs visible or invisible depending on the selected language. Besides that there is only hidden text to do some comparable on lower level but this is restricted to simple text as hidden text is a text field that does not allow to have different attributes applied to text in it.
