            Bug ID: 134737
           Summary: CONFIGURATION VIEWING Menus do not offer enough
                    languages directly for user to set language in
                    document
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
A user who wants to change the language in a document can readily choose,
through the status bar or the Tools menu, the language of
- the UI or
- the locale or
- the input method.
In order to set another language, the user has to open a new dialog window by
choosing More... from the menu that shows the above language(s).

Problems:
- The above language set of one to three distinct languages is often not
enough.
- The additional dialog is inconvenient. It should be possible for the user to
set the required languages once for all and have them in the menu every time.
- While the above problems are alleviated for Windows users who can rely on the
input method to set the language in the document (many cannot, see AOO issue
100762, link below), on GNU/Linux the input method cannot change the language
in the document (see #tdf108151).
