Description maccy 2002-05-03 17:17:02 UTC
In the paragraph menu there's no possibility to set the language for a certain
paragraph. First I thought it would not be possible to set a language for just
one paragraph but if you have installed an English and a German spell
dictionary, and you type a German paragraph you can select the language when you
press the right mouse key on a German word and myspell recogniced the word from
the (German) dictionary. However selecting the paragraph language in the
paragraph menue should be possible, too.

It is:
*For one selection:
- Select the text
- Format - Character - [Font] - Language

*Over a defined style:
- in the Stylist
- Create a new paragraph style (Ex: "German")
- choose the language in its tab page [Font]

Comment 3 maccy 2002-05-07 16:06:24 UTC
both of your examples don't match.
It's not possible to set the *paragraph* langauage. You wrote about
arbitrary text's language and about a predefined style. I mean a
manual paragraph language setting. This is missing in the paragraph
dialoge, though OO allows this to do (it's only indirectly possible
via the spellchecker's suggestion to change the paragraph languiage)

ES -> FT:
The real prioblem is to know if it makes sense to have the same tab 
pages under "Format - Paragraph" than in the the paragraph style 
properties.
Do we want to allow [Font], [Font Effects], [Position] and [Asian 
Layout] also for hard paragraph formatting?

I've corrected the settings for Platform, OS, IssueType and Component. 
And: I don't think that any character attributes should be provided in
the paragraph dialog. 
Comment 6 maccy 2003-04-19 11:42:02 UTC
this is still not possible with 1.1beta1. Anyone
doing something on this issue?
once more, because some people have written offtopic stuff here:
In the paragraph dialog one should be able to specify the
language, so that hyphenation and spelling can be adjusted
for a paragraph which is in a different language than the
rest of the document.
Comment 7 falko.tesch 2003-09-12 13:57:27 UTC
Please note: A paragraph never has a language! A single word has
(hence the language setting at "Character").
A complete document normally of course has also a standard language.
If you want combine diffenrrent language seperated by language than
please use styles for it (just create a paragraph style with your
desired language).
