Thanks, I thought it must have been reported before.
I just never tried to use it with non-English language words in the text
before.

It is very nice that the system will determine what language the word are
and then give you the proper list of dictionaries installed[?] for you to
choose, i.e. which version of Spanish you wish to use.

"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."

That is the feature I want to "sell" to various schools labs and computer
center in the area.  For a school computer lab, you can have a student write
a paper in French or Spanish and he/she would be able to have the paper
checked for spelling [and maybe grammar] without needing it to be hand
checked the way it is done now with their MS Word package that is being used
in the local school district.  That feature alone would be nice for the
students to use LibreOffice over MSO.  Then there are the "independent"
 computer centers provided by housing facilities and agency groups where
there are multi language kids, and adults, that need to have access to
computer [and the Internet] since they do not have the money to have them in
their homes.  Having every available language installed would help these
centers provide the services that the people would need.

Good luck!
