--- Comment #3 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Actually all three - "For Selection"/"For Paragraph"/"For All Text" - lead to
confusing dialogs. Former two bring the Character dialog on Font tab, where
language is just one setting among multiple. The latter one brings the said
Language dialog... where the language is also not the only thing; and all that
is rather counter-intuitive, and inconsistent.

I would propose to implement this in stages:

1. Create a dedicated "Set Language" dialog, with the only purpose to select
the text language. It would be very simple: have only one list box with
languages, OK and Cancel. It would be consistently used for all three actions.

2. When it's implemented, the checkbox (and related document-specific
functionality) may be removed from Options.

This would duplicate functionality a bit: Character dialog has the control to
set the language, doing the same as this proposed dialog; yet, having a
streamlined UI for the *dedicated* UNO command seems logical, and convenient to
end user. If needed, the dialog and/or its help could include the mention that
this is the same thing that is available on Character dialog (for selection and
Paragraph cases).

What do you think?
