Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Conveying the language of document text

Hi Marco

Please, do open that enhancement request, I'm pretty sure that LibreOffice
does not expose this information at this point. Unless something changed in
master the last couple of weeks. If you file it could you please send me a
link to the bug report.

Sorry for taking so long time to answer.

Kind regards
Niklas
