In other words, the list of multi-languages should contain an option or dummy language called, say, "as_requested". If the user keeps it turned on by default, it means that he accepts his set of languages being disabled and the sole requested language being used for just the course of filling a prescribed field. If he disagrees with some request, he may temporarily disable the dummy (well, or just make a spelling mistake ;-)) This option appearing as a dummy language makes it apparent when the user fumbles in his languages for a problem. I would not let the language definition of a page, division etc... control input. That's because it's not necessarily the intention of the page author, and probably so little often the case that the user may find himself disabling that option most of the time and finally turning it of permanently. I would restrict that feature to language applied to input fields specifically or to a new language definition specifically made for input fields. Multi-language spelling has been thought of principally for e-mail but I'd say I'm glad to drop my eurocent in your Web discussion if that word were in your dictionary ;-) Don't forget to pay a visit to bug 676500, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303269 Title: Automatically select language for spell check based on user input To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/303269/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
