--- Comment #11 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
All good points, and it becomes even harder for documents with mixed languages,
in case of CJK/CTL, if you add hyphenation. We have many tickets around this
topic, a while ago I made a mockup for bug 132505, a hot topic is bug 103036,
and bug 132505 has something about the options.

Basically, the language is a character attribute but can also set for the
paragraph. You define via tools > options > language what the default should be
(or in the template). Dictionaries and hyphenation are 3rd party tools, with a
clumsy interaction under Writing Aids. I can imagine shortcuts to make this
easier, eg. an infobar if a dictionary is not installed offering the download,
but basically extensions are a flexible way to enhance the application.

Ultimately I don't know how to deal with this ticket. It has so many facets
that no single patch can solve the issue.
