 Please provide the details about word statistic tool (how big dictionary
files does it need, is there an URL for this tool, is it OpenSource, does it 
handle multiply charsets for a given language...). 
 And seems that we need a mapping from charset name to language name (if
mapping in strict sense is possible, ie the given charset name is used for
encoding only one language) - otherwise the user will have to select right
language for current document manually.
