Pic01 - new document

In Calc a new field in the statusbar shows the actual language of text?

Opening a new calc document, the correct language-setting is displayed.

OK, you cannot change anything - nor right- or left-click possible as indicated in tooltipp (see pic01)

If I open an existing document (created with LO Calc version 5.3, 5.4 or earlier)- language setting displays allways "Englisch (USA)" 

even here no change is possible.

Trying to change cell-format (and change language) do no have any influence on status bar.

There is obviously thomething broken. or - just remove this field?

I call it implementationError because now the statusbar language info is useless.

* Neither (not always) the correct language of the cell will be displayed
* nor it's possible to change the language of cell or selection in the statusbar (or the tooltip should be dropped if no change is desired).

Not only in Calc but also in Impress. Changing component to UI.

I have a context menu after left or right mouse button click on language name in statusbar. In that context menu I can open a dialog. But it's general language options for GUI and locale settings in LO. From that dialog I can't set up a document language.

And in Calc we should have cell language options, but in Impress - language for all document.

So in Calc context menu item "More" should open "Format cells" dialog instead "Options-Language settings-Language"

But I don't have any idea about Impress

The tooltip for the language in the status bar is misleading when you use Calc or Impress, but Calc allows you to set the language for all text. This seems not to work when you have to go through the language settings dialog in order to set the language "for the current document only", no matter whether you use the status bar or the menu (Tools > Language > For All Text).

When this happens, one of the following should help.
- Typing into a cell
- Hitting F2 or putting the cursor into the input line and then changing cell
- Saving the file

On the other hand, copying (or cutting) and pasting does not seem to help.

Impress seems to have the same problem when you need to choose the language from the Options - Language settings - Language dialog. (Again, it makes no difference whether you start with the menu under Tools or on the status bar.) In addition, when you choose a language available in the submenu (without clicking on More in this submenu to go through the language settings dialog), the language in that dialog is not updated, although the language for all text is. For Impress I could not find a workaround.
