When I open the languages dialog (Format -> Languages...), there are some most often used languages in the upper part of the languages list (and all other are under the separator line). But I can not understand, how certain language is forwarded to the upper part of this list. As much as I remember, I did not put them there manually. Some statistic algorithm?
Is it possible to add or remove certain language to this upper part (hotlist)?
Or/and to change the count of the languages "hotlist" entries.
Thanks in advance!
BTW, it seems, that when the default language is not assigned, the language attribute of the text fragment being pasted from the clipboard depends of the current keyboard layout language in the source application. Is this conclusion correct?
how to add/remove languages to the most often used lang list
These are not the most often used languages. They are the languages that you used in the past. They will remain available until you click on “Clear Language History” in the drop-down attached to the “Language” toolbar button.
I am not aware of any way to remove selected entries from that history. You can only clear it completely, or leave it AS IS.
The language attribute automatically associated with the text fragment being pasted from the clipboard depends on a number of factors.
Text copied from a Web page has generally no language attribute. It gets pasted with the language attribute found “in the environment” (i.e. at the insertion point).
Text copied from a pure text editor will also get pasted with the language attribute found at the insertion point.
Text copied from a word processor will usually be associated with a specific language. Things are rather complex then.
If you have activated a default language for the document, the language originally associated with the pasted text will be ignored. The text will get pasted with the language attribute found at the insertion point.
If you have not activated a default language for the document,
- the text will get pasted with the language attribute found at the insertion point if you use “Ctrl+Alt+Inser” or the option to paste as unformatted or pure text.
- the text will get pasted with the language attribute originally associated with it if you use “Ctrl+V” or the option to paste as formatted or RTF text.

If you activated a "default language" for the document, any text you paste or type in this document, gets associated with that "default language".
Otherwise the algorithm is more complex:
– any text you type gets associated with the language of the active keyboard layout or the current language displayed in the status bar (depending on a number of conditions);
– when you paste formatted text from the clipboard (the "Rich Text Format" item in the "Edit | Paste Special..." dialog of Atlantis), the original language stored within the "rich text" clipboard data is kept in Atlantis;
– when you paste plain text from the clipboard (the "Plain text" and "Plain UNICODE text" items in the "Edit | Paste Special..." dialog of Atlantis), and the clipboard also contains a "locale identifier", Atlantis uses this "locale identifier" to associate the pasted text with a corresponding language;
– when you paste plain text from the clipboard (the "Plain text" and "Plain UNICODE text" items in the "Edit | Paste Special..." dialog of Atlantis), and the clipboard does not contain a "locale identifier", Atlantis (in most cases, but not always!) associates the pasted text with the language of the active keyboard layout or the current language displayed in the status bar (depending on a number of conditions).
