title="NEW - Remove "For the current document only" from Tools > Options > Language"

<span class="quote">> 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).</span ></pre>
