--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
The SB Properties deck holds a Character content panel. The SB Properties deck
is an Omni panel assembling details across the document and UI defaults.

But agree there is utility to expose current language/locale on the SB
Properties deck. Would be for focused paragraph, or respond to a selection
(will likely be needed for bug 148257).

Currently, the Properties deck will respond to text spans receiving CJK/CTL
Paragraph style handling by ICU lib detection.  Where user configures their
defaults (or current document) choices from Tools -> Options -> Language &
Locale -> General.

So any text spans in the document will pick up just those single
Western/CJK/CTL font assignments in the Paragraph styles in the Styles deck and
are also exposed on the Properties deck--when no Direct Formatting overrides.

Alternatively explicit DF setting of language at the Paragraph object level
reflects associated font in the Properties deck--but no language tagging beyond
what is below on the Status bar.

At a minimum, until bug 148257 allows more, exposing the same "trifecta" PS
details used for the Status bar in the Properties deck seems reasonable start.
