> 1. ....a checkmark at the beginning indicates the selected language attribute
And what if the paragraph or section contains more than one language? Think of
some inline citation: "And as the Latin emperor said 'Vini, Vidi, Vici'."

And in the end a simple renaming wont support average users. We need to address
the requirements:
a) Install dictionaries and hyphenation
b) Clear feedback what is available and where it is effective
c) Configure the above to be used
d) Introduce some heuristics to automatically apply the right language

We likely have tickets for all aspects (the META ticket linguistics holds 820
open items) and searching for "install" returns

bug 75734: Spell checking doesn't warn users if the selected dictionary isn't
installed, but rather returns a potentially incorrect result 
bug 153360: Languagetool 7.4 not working with languages different from default
language
bug 68576: Pre-installed User-defined Dictionaries Can be neither Modified nor
Deleted
bug 143308: LO Writer: refine custom dictionary installation

Adding more tickets is not helpful.
