Just a reminder that language settings, as well as facilities for working in
at least two languages in the same document, are absolutely vital for an
application with the ambitions of this one. Two languages can mean a
document in UK or OZ English that contains a quotation in what they call
English in the US of A ;-)). For languages like Greek, French & German, a
grammar checker is also vital, because everybody makes and misses mistakes
which look horrible to the reader.

you're in always get it wrong. Defining user requirements is quite
difficult. I suppose one solution would be to indicate which languages are
in use in Document Properties. Another would be to have a way to set the
language of each paragraph.
