Description ul.alten 2020-12-23 22:09:22 UTC
Description:
It would be nice to set two different dictionarys for one document at the same time. Another way could be to set a user-dictionary, wchich refers to two different dictionarys.
As it is now, the sentences need to manually be set to another language for autocorrect, which can be quite time consuming in the end.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. write a story
2. let the characters speak different languages
now you have a text with different languages within, so you cannot just choose another language for the whole paragraph
3. select all the sentences belonging to the respective language and change the dictionary for autocorrect manually

Actual Results:
-it is very time consuming and can be annoying
-multiple selections by pressing ctrl is possible, but you have to have very precise movement as to not accidentally get into the wrong line and do it all over again.

Expected Results:
more comfortable way to do this. For example being able to create a new dictionary based on two different, already existing dictionaries. something like that maybe.


Reproducible: Always

Additional Info:
i'd be very delighted!

You should define several variations of text body style differing only by language. As you can assign a keyboard shortcut to a style, it is easy to switch from one variation style to another.

I think that matches your needs. What do you think?

Status has been set to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested information has been provided.

Best regards. JBF
