I concur with StephenM that the current way for changing default language of
the document is counter-intuitive. 

I think a couple of simple changes are in order.

- The software should store previously used languages and present them in the
Tools->Language->For Selection/Paragraph/Text submenus.
- A more intuitive dialog for selecting the default language of the document

For me, the "For all text" submenu also show the autodetected language for the
current paragraph; doesn't it do the same for you?

--- Comment #1 from StephenM  ---
Also note: if you click on the language in the status bar at the bottom of the
Writer window, the context-menu that appears is visually similar to the
sub-menus under Tools -> Language -> For all Text (et al.) but on this one, the
"More..." item does not take you to the Languages property-page but to the Font
tab.

This is inconsistent and also confusing.
