Fair enough, I can see how this could be useful in-app as well as for interoperability with specialised tools in which a distinction between "no language" and "undetermined" matters, e.g. transcription tools, applications in linguistics, script writing, databases and datasets in which a record's language is yet to be determined... It could be listed at the top of the list as [Undetermined], next to [None]. @Eike, Regina can't imagine this hadn't come up previously. Any recollections...? Just type und into the character format language box and hit Enter. Will be displayed as "Unknown language {und}" after that. (In reply to Eike Rathke from comment #3) Interesting... that's better than what I knew was implemented right now. Regardless of that point, * This suggestion would only be relevant before bug 151290 (after which, language is no longer an aspect of formatting). * There are 3 language boxes: Western, Complex, Asian. Why should the user do this in the Western language selection box? And - should be any of them? all of them? * There's no list item to choose this with the mouse * There's no completion for it * ...and it's easy to mistake with Udmurt, which does have completion I'll add "[Multiple]" {mul} and "[Undetermined]" {und} to the top of the list. Eike Rathke committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/d4375cf6e6086c3b9cb169cbb40781e8b1124b4d Resolves: tdf#160256 Add "[Multiple]" and "[Undetermined]" to language list It will be available in 24.8.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
