Note also that availability of space depends on length of text in elements.
E.g., "words + characters" section will expand as soon as you select something,
and become "Selected: 233 words, 1.615 characters"; text language may have not
only short entries like "Russian", but also longer ones, like "English (New
Zealand)", etc.

I found out that when space is not enough, we hide text language first, and
keep this selection mode, which looks strange given relative importance of
these elements (people often need to know the language of the text they input,
to have it spell-checked properly, while selection mode is used less often).

Also note that in applications that use textual labels with lots of such data
(AutoCAD), the test is abbreviated, and this is targeted at engineers, i.e.
people with technical set of mind ... I doubt this is suitable for Writer.
