I made a script to change the applied language of every story on a layer and it works, but only if the selected language has been applied somewhere in the document before I run the script. I assume it is the same bug that prevents you from making a paragraph style with a different language (unless the language is already applied somewhere in the document)

Any ideas how to work around this bug?

Here's the script:



 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	set myDocument to active document 
	set myLayers to name of layers of myDocument 
	set myChosenLayer to (choose from list myLayers with prompt "Please select the layer you like to set language for") as string 
	set myLanguages to name of languages 
	set myChosenLanguage to (choose from list myLanguages with prompt "Please select the language you like to apply") as string

	set myStories to (object reference of parent story of text frames of layer myChosenLayer of myDocument) whose (text frame index is 1)

	repeat with i in myStories 
		set applied language of i to myChosenLanguage 
	end repeat

end tell
