Description Ralph Böhlke 2020-05-17 12:01:00 UTC
I am using a word processor working with different input languages. What I am missing in LibreOffice (in particular in LibreWriter) for now is to have the input language automatically recognized by the system (and being spell-checked). 

How this cloud look like more precisely:
- Creating a new submenu under 'Options' where to user could easily select the languag(es) to be spell-checked (without obliging the user to download files manually from somewhere else). 
- Ideally the same applies to grammar check.

I would be very useful, if the user could select 3 or 4 languages. Then the system would recognize while typing the language used (and checks spelling/grammar). Like this the user could even change the input language from one sentence to another and LibreOffice would simply recognize that.

In fact, this is a duplicate of bug 108151 (if the issue is in Writer, and happens because the user uses an OS where we can't get the input language), or of bug 127898, if the issue is in modules other than Writer.

But indeed, the followed proposal itself (to allow LibreOffice to *guess* the language without getting the actual system input language) is bug 132294, yes :)
