There is no such thing as a "document language" in
OOo. The language the
spell checker uses is a character attribute that (if no
setting has been
applied by the user) is taken from the default paragraph
style.

So if you load a document it has its "document
language" built in - it's
the one stored in its default paragraph style.

How do you want to get the "document language"
instead?

Ciao,
Mathias

Hmm - but how would you explain the setting Toolsptions
→ Languages →
Language Settings?

It has a "default language for documents" settings
that can be applied
to the current document only as well.

Default paragraph style doesn't has a language set by
default.

No, it's not... (Organize tab of the style doesn't list
language
setting)

I mentioned here recently that the documentation for
DocumentInfo
mentions a Language property that I would have expected to
be just that.
But api is broken and doesn't return that property.
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=26672

The default language is a
<dc:language>en-US</dc:language> property in
content.xml
