[suggestion] Quickly find the required languages in "Document Properties" / "Advanced" / "Reading Options"

Post by Jensen Head »

Now, when specifying the languages of the document ("Advanced Document Settings" tab), the user has to completely type the desired language, or manually search for it in the list. In the process of typing the name of the language, there is neither a quick jump of the cursor in the list, nor a decrease in the list to match the entered letter combination:

See how convenient the choice of document languages is made in Abbyy Finereader:

By the way, in the current user's manual there is nothing about the phrase "Reading Options" - in particular, about the format for specifying several languages. It is not clear whether a space, a comma, a semicolon is used, and is it acceptable to use codes 639-1, 639-2/T, 639-2/B или 639-3 to denote languages?

Hi Jensen Head,

that certainly does sound reasonable to me. I have raised a formal feature request around this. Tis does not reprsnet a promise to deliver the feature, but it does mean it will be evaluated by the Development team. Ultimately it will be the development team leader's choice.

While for internal use only, the reference is RT#5754: Feature request :: Editor :: Quickly find the required languages in "Document Properties" / "Advanced" / "Reading Options"

Ask about the ticket number when looking for updates.

I hope that helps.
Best regards

Any news on how to correctly specify multiple languages ​​(which separator? separator with or without space?)?

And the ability to select multiple languages ​​from a list for multilingual documents (e.g. user manuals) without having to type the language name manually?

Hello, Jensen Head

I am sorry to say I do not have any updates for you at the moment. I have touched base with the Dev team and will let you know if I have more to offer later this week.

Kind regards,
