WOW,

if that is a a normal situation over there then yall is crazy. no I had a
feeling that someone would say something like that but I wrote it anyway. I
can see how having the language would be good for some. do you have any
comments on anything else.

cheers,
Andrew

 Hello
im taking all this from
https://wiki.**documentfoundation.org/Design/**Writer_Status_Bar_Remaking<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Writer_Status_Bar_Remaking>

-------------------


Language... why do we need to tell people what language they are in. there
has never been a moment in my life where I had forgotten what language I
speak and read. i guess this could be useful for people who speak
different languages, but then again it does not take that long to
recognize
that the words on the screen are not English. when I see Spanish, German,
or Swedish I do not wander if it is English. now I would not see the
difference between German and Swedish, but I could see that it
is definitely not English. so why is it even there?


Imagine this (a real-life example):

A french professional translator works in Moscow; editing documents with
sections in various languages and alphabets ranging from Ukrainian and
Russian to Dutch and French, using his good'ol French keyboard in an
Russian OS, having LibreOffice UI alternatively in French and English.

In a case like this you'd really appreciate see right away which language
you're editing (after disruption by phone or whatever).

Such a person is also a likely candidate to beg for a nice
word/character/line count.

Sveinn í Felli
