After having followed this thread silently, I'd like to throw in my € 0.02.

Of course, it's not about the 10 seconds it would take actually changing the 
language for one identity; it's rather about the time it might take to find 
out about this (and obviously John had to invest more than just 10 seconds for 
this), and about what default someone not so familiar with the special 
functionalities would expect as a default.

What I would expect, for example, would be that if I set up the system in one 
language, and change the system language later on, that all those applications 
which picked the system langauge initially would follow that change. (Example 
scenario: install in US English, as this ist the default anyway, and switch to 
UK English later on for spelling purposes).

Actually, what I'm missing in the identity configuration / dictionary 
selection is an option to "just use the system default".

What I would propose is to add such a selection, and make it the default 
value. This would leave an "untouched" kmail follow the global system 
settings, and still leave the possibility to assign specific languages where 
needed. For me this would give a more "natural" feeling of the configuration 
part.

Just my 2 cents.

Andreas
