But what if you don't want to change the language of existing text?

I'm attaching a patch that does the following:
When changing the language of the document in the document layout popup,
if the document contains only one language, then the language of the existing
text is changed into the new document language (otherwise, nothing is done).
The patch also contains a rewrite of the Right-to-Left support.
The new code is much more cleaner (it is ~100 lines shorter).
Note that the file direction.h, so it should be erased from the CVS.
