--- Comment #4 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Looking into the code, OP seems to have guessed right.

The menu items are created in EditView::ExecuteSpellPopup
(editeng/source/editeng/editview.cxx). It uses a language guesser, implemented
in lingucomponent/source/languageguessing/guesslang.cxx.

When used for a single word, EditView::CheckLanguage tries four languages:
* The default document language from "Tools/Options - Language Settings -
Languages: Western";
* The one from "Tools/Options - Language Settings - Languages: User interface";
* The one from "Tools/Options - Language Settings - Languages: Locale setting";
* en-US.
If they have active dictionaries, then first of them is used further.

When checking paragraph text, the language guesser uses libexttextcat [1] to
perform a "fingerprint-based" guessing. It looks highly unreliable, based on
the evidence...

I suppose it is the same as (part of) tdf#66051. Personally I would just drop
it.
