--- Comment #70 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

Language guessing is needed by many users and should be improved. However, the
used library was never meant (nor is it likely to achieve) to detect the
language based on one or a few words. Alternatives might be available though,
https://github.com/pemistahl/lingua-py.

The suggestion is to make the function optional by 
a) adding "[ ] Detect languages" (off by default) to Tools > Options >
Languages and Locale > Enhanced Language Support, 
b) show document languages in the dropdown and require user to pick one from
the character dialog (as today and like MSO does), and
c) sort the results according comment 55.
d) do not add recent languages (across sessions),

In the long run it would be good to improve the detection.

For a code pointer, see comment 44.
