Created attachment 81290 [details] contains Draw file with screenshots and explanations and the writer test file I made some additional test using a longer Dutch text. Observations: Depending of the selection and the way selections are made Writer recognizes language differently. Details about the selection and how is was made is in the Draw file, including the results. Results are screenshots showing Tools / language / For selection . This bug could be related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63558
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65994 is another bug report concerning Dutch
This report covers two distinct problems: 1. Incosistent behaviour of Language Selection UI in Writer, and 2. Missing functionality (inability to specify language) in other components. 1st problem is Reproducible with 3.3.0.4 - 4.1.0.4 under Win7x64. The selection of other language is possible by selecting "More...", but the inconsistent and position-dependent list of languages in the menu is, of course, confusing. For the second problem (I'm not sure if it should be considered a feature request, given that there is a spellchecking in those components - I would call it a bug) please file a separate report. Thank you.

For me there is no bug here: 1/ you have set language to English for each sentence: Format > Character 2/ for each sentence Writer is able to suggest a plausible alternative to English, if you ask for. Note: in my case, with only English and French installed, Writer proposes Frisian instead of Dutch. According to Google Translate, it seems correct too. And it seems also correct to say that is Afrikaans. I guess the behavior of Tools > Language depends on the number of languages in which the sentence is valid. I close this bug report as NotABug. Feel free to reopen if you disagree. Best regards. JBF
