Default Recognize Language Formatting

I need to do a lot of editing that includes making sure text is formatted
with the correct language. Sometimes this is very easy, as it is easy to tell
if text is Chinese vs. English etc.

However sometimes this can be very difficult, for example, is this text
marked as US English or UK English.

This is especially true for neutral characters like space characters. How is
one to know in which language it was formatted? Is there any way to discern
what characters were typed with which keyboard language without selecting
each character and looking at the botom of the app where it tells you which
language is applied?

Default Recognize Language Formatting

There really isn't any easy way to do that sort of thing - but do you really
want to? What action are you going to take if you find, say, a UK English
space in an otherwise US English document?
