i just recently installed ubuntu 11.04, english version that comes with libreoffice.

I also installed Greek language.

Is there some way to make Writer recognize my input language (English - Greek) and apply spelling check on the fly, according to my input language?

For example, i type a sentence in English, then switch keyboard input (Alt-Shift) and type a sentence in Greek. Writer does no recognize the Greek sentence and underlines it red.

MS Office and OO under Windows does it... As soon as you change input language (keyboard layout), the real time spelling checker changes also between languages...

Thank you in advance...
