I can't see the problem in Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 949658028e722e5d2657b503eb20e16e41dbd8cf CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL I have a multilanguage document. Status bar always displays language of the actual paragraph. If you select several paragraphs with different languages "Multiple Languages" is displayed in the status bar. For me this is an expected behaviour. Tracey, could you please explain, why you expect something different? => NEEDINFO
Created attachment 174115 [details] French English Mexican Text# <unwarranted language) When I select text identifying the language for spell checking purposes, I seem to get other (unwarranted) languages randomly poping up (see the 3 attached examples: French English Mexican Text1 Frisian.png, French English Mexican Text2 Kinyarwanda.png, French English Mexican Text3 Catalan.png). I only want to see the applicable languages in the document. The random pop-up is very problematic with working with multi-lingual documents. Thanks, Tracey BTW, FWIW: I also get English (UK) and English (USA) both appearing: I only need/want the applicable one at a time. I also get Spanish (Spain) and Spanish (Mexico) both appearing: I only need/want the applicable one at a time.

[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
Unconfirmed? I sent attachments showing <print>-screen shots of languages that appear randomly in the text language box. I am editing documents with a mix of English and Spanish(Mexican/Mexico). Trying to apply the applicable language for spell-checking purposes and it is intensely frustrating when other languages randomly (pop-up / appear) in the text language box shifting the "target" language to a different line/point in the list 8-| grrrr. It is a random occurrence, but it does occur frequently. Please advise. Thanks, Tracey I found the [French, English and Spanish] ODT document as a sample ODT file. I found Lorem Ipsum online (is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry).
Created attachment 174232 [details] Lorem Ipusm Latin Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Latin??? It is a document in English, but Latin popped-up as an option for spell checking purposes. Why? Please advise.
(In reply to Tracey from comment #8) > Unconfirmed? Yes, because until now nobody else could confirm your problem. Screenshots make it more clear, but I still can't confirm. Please retest with Help => Restart in SafeMode
I can not see the comment I made in the Lorem Ipsum attachment. The document is in English, but Latin also popped-up as an optional Language for spell checking.

(In reply to Tracey from comment #12) > Created attachment 174233 [details] > Lorem Ipusm Latin in SafeMode > > Lorem Ipsum Latin in SafeMode. I'm not sure, but I can imagine, that this is expected, because Lorem Ipsum sounds like Latin. Unfortunately I couldn't find any informations in LO Help. So I'm afraid, I can't help here.
When running a quick-check of [French, English, and Mexican/Mexico.odt] in safe mode, I did not see any wildly random languages from East/West Europe or Africa appear. But when all the text from [Mexico] is selected only Spanish (Mexico) appears as an option in the [text language box]. When the cursor is placed within the Spanish (Mexico) text, Spanish (Spain) re-appears as an additional language option in the [text language box]. I will attach both the PNG files and the ODT text file. Thanks, Tracey Just FYI, It appears that I can only attach one file at a time, but a link to the webmaster does not appear to be available.

Just FYI, this would not be such a royal pain in the butt, but sometimes multiple random (unrelated) languages pop up. Thanks, Tracey It seems that I just use LibreOffice in ways that no others do.
I cannot confirm with Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 571be264d9604c3d77036e26812f909655cc0bb2 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Jumbo Tested open file from attachment and clicked in the paragraphs - the language in the status bar correspond with text language.
Created attachment 178222 [details] Australian English, Catalan, French and German appearing randomly I can confirm the bug. On my install, the languages appear completely randomly. My selection of languages is not kept and the only two languages that appear by default are "English (USA)" (for reasons unbeknownst to me) and "English (UK)" (which is the system language). Italian, which I always use and whose corresponding language pack is installed on the system, is never included in the list; however, random languages that I have never used are included. In the screenshot you can see Catalan, English (Australia), French and German even though the document I was editing was in English and I was translating it to Italian; I had to manually add Italian for it to be present in the list.

(In reply to Riccardo Robecchi from comment #20) > I can confirm the bug. On my install, the languages appear completely > randomly. => Status NEW
Can not confirm. With default profile and sample document attachment 174238 [details] (fr-FR, es-MX, en-US) I do not reproduce issue. The only languages listed from the Status bar's Language text field are the languages present in its ODF archive style.xml (document template) and content.xml en-GB (from styles.xml) zh-CN (from styles.xml -- CJK and does not show via the StB Language text [1]) hi-IN (from styles.xml -- CTL and does not show via the StB Language text [1]) fr-FR (from content.xml) en-US (from content.xml) es-MX (from content.xml) When the Spanish language text has cursor focus, the Text language field does offer es-ES. Likewise if I add a paragraph of Brazilian Portuguese pt-BR, when it has cursor focus, the Text language field offers pt-PR meaning. And, if I change one of the fr-FR segment to fr-BE and the other segment to fr-CA (via the UI or edits in the content.xml) those additional languages are added to the StB Text language menu list, in addition to the no longer used fr-FR. I expect that behavior comes from this default /administrative installation of this nightly build of master against 7.5--so all dictionaries are installed, and the cursor focus onto a text run is sufficient to offer the alternative locale dictionaries. Finally, if I change the style.xml adjusting the en-GB default to en-US--the en-GB alternative is no longer offered for this system with os/DE in en-US. I think this all reasonable and see no *unexplainable* "random language" appearing in Writer's Status Bar "Text language" field with default profile, nor as OP when working in Safe Mode provides. There is no language bleed over from other documents a user has in their document history. So only the os/DE locale, users language settings, styles from the document template, and any applied languages present in the document (and responding dictionary/spellcheck alternates offered) control the menu list. I did not chase it down in source, but IMHO not a bug and => WFM =-Testing-= Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 651658d37bcb3f493942dd5d0b9a0d65c96f105c CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded [1] believe not showing the CJK or CTL values is correct as for me on this system os/DE default locale is en-US and that is autodetected and applied. Those detected defaults UI and Locale values can be changed from Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages. Depending on os/DE system language and locale, language setting defaults will vary per user--so additional languages can be present to what is contained in the ODF (styles.xml or content.xml).
