"The list of languages, shown in the context menu, is dynamically
created from the following language settings and is limited to a
maximum of 7 language entries and is sorted alphabetically. All shown
languages are from the same scripting type (i.e. Asian, Western, CTL)
present in the current text selection. If no selection is present all
currently enabled script types are shown.
1. Currently set language
2. and locally set language from Tools-Options (OOo and operating system)
3. and user Interface language from Tools-Options
4. and guessed language from current paragraph
5. (optional on Windows operating systems) currently used keyboard
languages (called input languages on Windows systems)
6. and languages already used in current document (Note: Number of
languages is limited to 7 overall)
7. and ignore attribute in form of the entry “Do not check spelling[
and grammar]”
The entry for no. 7 and the More... entry are always part of that
menu, so the menu consist of a maximum of 9 entries. These entries are
always shown at the end of the menu."
