It is often the case that some text will contain quotes written in another language. This raises lots of errors and clogs the error list so that looking for legitimate errors can become frustrating. I suggest that all text found between two quotation marks be either skipped or analyzed and checked in its original language.

I don't think it should be skipped, but I like the idea of a separate language detection for quotes.

"I suggest that all text found between two quotation marks be either skipped or analyzed and checked in its original language."
The problem I see here is that in scientific texts, long quotes usually are block quotes that don't have quote marks. For the LO plugin, what we really want IMO is a way to detect quotations that doesn't rely on quote marks.

Maybe LT should choose another language for a paragraph as soon as more than 50 % of the words have spelling mistakes (or something like that).

How would you find out which language is used in the quote?
