You usually use the same set of languages (global settings, for me 
French and English), then you sometimes use other ones for specific 
tasks or documents (app or doc-basis, for instance Dutch for me). Then 
an application like gedit could remember it with the document metadata 
so that next time you open your doc, you use the custom language instead 
of the global one...
