--- Comment #21 from Michael Bauer <fios at akerbeltz.org> ---
I'm now being offered Gaelic, Faroese and German (only Gaelic and German are
language I actually have proofing installed for) and again, I have no idea
where Faroese is coming from. The language I actually wanted to select for the
whole document, en-GB, isn't being offered.

Right click brings up the Paragraph menu but there no longer seems to be an
option to set the language even via that convoluted route.

If I right click on a mis-spelled word, I can set the language for the
paragraph - though it now offers me Gaelic, German and Interlingua.

I also don't get why I can't set the language 
- when spellchecking is turned off. A user may want to set the language but not
use spellchecking. Or I may want to set a language for which there is no
proofing extension but I don't want to document in to be set to the wrong
language.
- for the entire document, it's either shoddy UI language if "Paragraph" means
the whole document or tedious to have to do this paragraph by paragraph.

There's probably some well-meant automatic thing going on but it's badly broken
for anyone not using LO in en-US.

Given the high frequency with which this issue must occur for many users, I'm
dismayed at the lack of attention this is getting. It's been 7 months...
