Description: Currently, all of the AutoCorrect settings in Options and Localized Options under Tools | AutoCorrect | AutoCorrect Options are applied globally to all languages, and the "Replacements and exceptions for language" box is grayed out when setting Options and Localized Options. But there are settings that I want enable for one language and not others. E.g., I frequently type multilingual documents in English and Hebrew. In English, I want single and double quotes replaced with curly quotes. In Hebrew, I want to use straight quotes. But there is no way to fix this other than turning off "autocorrect while typing," which makes frequent switching between languages using quotation marks cumbersome. It also seems that the inability to create language-specific settings has led to weirdly specific additions to localized options (like "add non-breaking space before specific punctuation marks in French text" and "transliterate to Old Hungarian if the text direction is from right to left"), while still not allowing simple language-specific settings like the one I describe above. This request applies to both Writer and Calc; indeed, the problem is worse in Calc, which does not currently have the ability to turn off autocorrect while typing, meaning that, e.g., I need to globally disable single/double quote replacement if I'm typing with quotes in Hebrew, and then re-enable afterwards (see bug #156020). Thank you! Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Tools | AutoCorrect | AutoCorrect Options. 2. Select Options and Localized Options. 3. See that "replacements and exceptions for language" is grayed out. Actual Results: Unable to make quote-replacement and other options language-specific. Expected Results: Should be able to make quote-replacement and other options language-specific.

Discussion is going on in bug 153987. Even though it focuses on the Localized Options, I think we can mark as a duplicate and consolidate. Please feel free to share your ideas there. Thank you! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 153987 ***
