--- Comment #20 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #19)

I oppose this, mostly  for  reasons I gave in earlier comments, but
specifically:

* This deceives the user: It does not set the language(s) of documents, while
claiming to do so.
* Even if this were to set "document languages" somehow - that would be
inappropriate. The Languages of a document are not an app preference, they are
an aspect of its content. Either they are 'set' implicitly, or they are to be
set explicitly, outside thsi
* These controls hide the fact, that they control whether full RTL-CTL and CJK
support in the UI is enabled or disabled.
* This confuses the user due to bug 144814: The Tools | Options dialog
currently holding some options specific to the document being edited; the
phrasing of the title and the table entries makes it difficult to understand
how much of these are about the current document and how much regard general
settings, or settings for newly-opened documents.

With that said - a scrollable table for controlling various language-specific
settings, like hyphenation options, dictionary and thesaurus to use etc. - is a
fine idea in itself.

> The CTL/CJK options would always be visible for everyone.

Can you elaborate? Do you mean as in bug 168719? That is, does the mockup
assume bug 168719 has been approved and resolved? My comments above assume that
it hasn't and it hasnlt.

Pick greek where? And when is the greek font supposed to apply? We only have 1
font slot for each group in the Format > Character... dialog; do we want to
change that? Please clarify,,,
