Language Selection Statusbar Control
This is a Google Summer Of Code project which will provide the OpenOffice.org community the language selection status bar control. It's planned that the feature will be part of OpenOffice.org 2.3.
Motivation
Currently OpenOffice.org doesn't provide an easy way to change the language of a word, paragraph or text selection within the Writer application. The user has to use the menu and a multi-tab dialog to choose the appropriate language. A status bar control which provides this function would greatly enhance usability for people who have to work with multiple language documents.
Specification
We have a first draft specification for this feature from the User Experience team. You can find the draft specification here:
Mockups
Some mockups from the specification can be seen below to have a better understanding about the feature.
