How do I add languages to the status bar pick list in LibreOffice Calc?

I am using Libreoffice 6.4.3.2 on Gentoo Linux.

I have built the package with the de en-GB fr nb l10n-language packs, but I have German as the default and interface language and that is the only language that appears in the pick list when I right-click on the language field in the status bar:

Of course I can pick any language for which there are dictionaries installed when I right-click on a selection of cells, say, and choose “Format cells”, but this is more time-consuming and I recall that this used to be possible from the status bar. I thought perhaps that the Gentoo language packs were not being recognized by LibreOffice, but adding languages from extensions.libreoffice.org does not change what appears in the status bar, even after restarting.

This question seems to be pretty old (Aug.2000?), did you get any relpies?

Like rhombus, I want to customize the status bar pick list of languages, it lists languages that I don’t use and the languages I use aren’t listed…


Can anyone help out, please?
