As I mentioned in the previous comment, the Language box in the statusbar goes
invisible, unless the Writer window is >1000px (approximately). Therefore, in
my normal workflow, it's invisible always.

Pasting text goes all over the place, as I regularly (=50 times every day)
paste mixed language text, and I then have to manually fix all the words that
are not in the correct language.

I'm already using AutoHotKey, but I find it dumb to have a shortcut for an
action that's 5 keypresses long (alt-T, G, F, E, or whatever else) for
something that could be handled internally.
