Actually, Billy - the cat - can only write in Dutch and Norwegian
nynorsk. It's Tony who always writes in English (Tony also writes in
Dutch and nynorsk, as well as all the others.- le dernier peut aussi
écrire un peu en francais, si'il est tres deprimé, comme maintenant en
effait).

I can't enable languages in Tools -> Settings - that's where things go
wrong for me. I then turn on everything at once.

Why? I'm happy with things as they are with 1.2.1. The point is, that
with 1.2.2 you can't select *anything* in the composer (according to
Anna), which is utterly useless to both me and Billy. Since selecting
multiple languages in Tools -> Settings activates all chosen languages
at the same time. Useless. Which is why I can not install 1.2.2, even
though I've downloaded it.

Why have any default language at all? I have *no* default language, I
write in them all, according to my intended recipient..

Best,

Billy and Tony
