"The list of languages, shown in the context menu, is dynamically created from the following language settings and is limited to a maximum of 7 language entries and is sorted alphabetically. All shown languages are from the same scripting type (i.e. Asian, Western, CTL) present in the current text selection. If no selection is present all currently enabled script types are shown. 1. Currently set language 2. and locally set language from Tools-Options (OOo and operating system) 3. and user Interface language from Tools-Options 4. and guessed language from current paragraph 5.

I think that's the correct behaviour. Please have a look at: Bug 32780 - Character dialog box opens when click on "Tools > Language > For the selection > Plus.." https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32780 Bug 36091 - Bringing up dialogue for a different language for selection or paragraph only brings up text formatting instead https://bugs.freedesktop.org/process_bug.cgi 'Bug 37919 - Clicking "more" on the Language Section in Writer at the bottom bar opens up the wrong Dialog Window https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37919 Well, the 'Background' tab ... There should be an improvement (request for enhancement?). Currently the last selected tab (by the user) will be opened. Better: The 'Font' tab will always be opened (as default) for Tools > Language > (Selection/Paragraph), and for language selection in the status bar. mjk -- TDF Planet http://planet.documentfoundation.org/ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org In case of problems unsubscribing, write to postmas...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] error in menu for tools/language/for selection or for paragraph
OK I think I know a little more than what is stated below. Since English is what I have as my default language, if I do not have any non-English words in the text "selected", then I get the error. Now when I add text that is Spanish, the options gives me a number of different Spanish dictionaries to choose from. When I add French text to the document, then it gives me French as an option for the text. NICE how the system knows what languages are involved. So the error only happens when I have ALL English text and try to choose a different language than English.
