Up until a week ago we didn't need language_inherit, and I don't see why wee
need one now.
There is currently many problems with your changes:
1. When you copy text from English document to French document, the
language of the text remains language_inherit, so the text will now be
considered as French instead of English.
When copying to the clipboard, you do need to store the language of the
document, and when pasting from the clipboard, you need to do the necessary
conversion if the language of the current document is different.
2. For a text in insettext with language=language_inherit, the language
of the text should be according to the paragraph above.
However, currently the language of the text is according to the
the document language.
I'm sure there are other problem, but I didn't check thoroughly.
I am a bit annoyed that you applied this patch without asking me first.
Maybe you should revert it, and start a new branch. When you have a fully
working code, we can see if the inherit_language really simplifies the code.
