I have no idea if it's a bug, but you can use Vim's search and replace to mass switch all the \lang in front of each paragraph. I regularly use Vim to tweak LyX native language when the LyX front end can't do the job. This is one of my favorite things about LyX -- it doesn't require LyX :-) SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/
