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 :-)
Thanks, Steve. If it is not a bug, then many users like me -- I guess
-- would be very happy if they were given the option of choosing as
global the change of language, i.e., affecting all paragraphs and not
only the the new ones.
