Looking in more detail, when I type single quote ' the language in the status
changed from Chinese(Taiwan) to English, but when I input Chinese character it
jumped back to Chinese (Taiwan).  It looks like showing the (detected) language
of current character (selections).

And the language settings and detecting seem to be for spellchecking, which
would be usually useless in CJK, but would easily confuse users.

@Heiko, do you think it a UX problem to discuss?  Putting keyword first.
