Additionally, there are grammar checkers like LanguageTool that use more involved rules. And even in simplest case, a word that is OK in one language is not necessarily OK in another, so using all installed dictionaries potentially results in too forgiving check. We already have built-in mechanism for using input language from system for entered text. That allows user to switch the input language using normal OS method (e.g., Shift+Alt)? and LibreOffice follows. In countries like Russia, where Cyrillic keyboard layout is necessarily different from Latin layout, users are used to that, and you couldn't enter an English word without switching keyboard layout *and* input language at the same time. In case one wants to switch between two Roman languages, possibly people don't use that, and keep typing characters of a different language without doing anything to change input language ... but they can set it up, and have it working. At least on Windows, see <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - System input language is always ignored on Linux" href="show_bug.cgi?id=108151">tdf#108151</a>.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
