- In my Ubuntu-Box I have Greek, German and English keyboard layouts installed. I find it convenient to cycle through languages using LeftShift + RightShift. - I use Greek for Greek documents, English for English and German for German. - Ideally, would expect to launch LyX, Press Ctrl+N, set the document class and the language to Greek, start filling with Greek text, switch to English, type some terms, switch back to Greek, continue writing, switch to German and add some German name witch contains "ü" or the likes, press ViewPDF(LaTeX) and voila, everything is there. - Ι never have had problems with OpenOffice for example, or gedit. Of course, I don't think it's correct to compare LyX with gedit for example. - Also, last but not least (I know, it's another thing), I would like to fill the title, author, subject, etc. for a greek document with greek words and having it in place in the produced pdf. - Also, somebody wrote in a post that there is no default language for a document. I don't agree. There is. It is the systems default language. If I have Greek as default, then yes, Greek is what I consider as default language for the document. Nikos
