--- Comment #14 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Khaled Hosny from comment #12) > otherwise I feel that this > suggestion is an improving (if I'm correctly understanding the proposal). > Instead of the cryptic CTL and Asian nomenclature, users have a simple UI > showing what languages they intend to use. Except that it would not be a simple UI, as it hides what it actually does. It is a bit like a UI asking you for what you do for a living, and then later offering you templates which are relevant to your profession. Our users _are_ stuck - for now - with the RTL-CTL/Asian/Western language trichotomy. It is not a good idea to pretend that it doesn't exist in Tools > Options; we must let users clearly and explicitly control the behavior of the application; we must avoid, as much as possible, them having to guess what their choices actually imply. > Would this also handle spelling > and hyphenation etc. dictionaries as well (so less UI places to configure > languages one wants to use)? ... this question illustrates the point I made in my last comment. If this UI were simple, this question would not come up. It is not simple in itself, and it gains more complexity when considered in the context of the authoring languages UI in MS Office. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
