Description peter josvai 2018-12-22 09:15:18 UTC
that there are so many languages in LiO, is a very good thing...
it is beautiful that all people on this Planet, in this civilization, can use a writing tool like Writer.. without limitations whatsoever...

AT the same time, 
I barely use more than 2 languages, and I have to make the way from 
"tools / language / for all text"  (or for selection) ...

and often... I'll have to go on to "more options" 
to set my second most frequently used language as the language of the document..

AND not only that..
when I'm doing that, I'll have to scroll through that list...

- - - -

my suggestion:
the long list is COOL.. even beautiful...
it would be great, however, if one could make some sticky decisions...

like, keep this one in the "short list" (tools / language /for all text / ...)

that is, it would be great to have a "most frequently used" category...
that could be saved...

I imagine that those who write and edit text in 3-4 languages, would be extremely grateful :)

ALSO,
it would be great if some languages would not automatically show up as selectable in  "tools / language / for all text ..." menu...

like for me right now: {tzm-latn} :) 
just because I badly misspelled a word at the beginning of a new text :)


thank you for developing Libreoffice !!
happy holidays!

While bug 85449 is talking about a solution and not an issue (filtering is one option, here a flag is proposed, and I can figure many other ways to deal with very long lists) it's still the same problem.
