Description Eyal Rozenberg 2024-03-17 21:25:43 UTC
(This bug regards a future era after we've resolved bug 151290 and can specify the language of a stretch of text, not as an aspect of formatting but properly; and regardless of "language groups".)

Some text is not actually part of any language. Examples:

* Gibberish text

* Transcription of non-verbal noise

* Randomly-generated text

etc.

and note this is _not_ the same as having unknown language, nor the same as being in multiple languages simultaneously.

It should be possible to indicate that a stretch of text has _no_ language.

[NONE] can already be set to a paragraph style or via character formatting. Why wouldn't that be the case with the implementation of bug 151290? I'm not sure we need a separate ticket for that.

Hmm, the "zxx" language... yes, I suppose you're right.
