This report is not about how to change the language, but about what LibreOffice shows in the languages options under "Default Languages for Documents". See the rest of item A in the original report and the attachment about Writer. Taken together, the Western language field and checkbox "For this document only" are inconsistent for Writer. > > II. For Impress > > The default language for Western documents is shown. > > Maybe I missed this point. But what exactly is different at Impress? Main > menu, tools > options, sidebar, some properties, statusbar... Same steps as in Writer, that is - same language settings - creation of a new document - now an Impress presentation - which of course starts out in the default language - change of language for all text through the menu (without using More...) - opening the languages dialog from the window of this presentation Impress does not lead to the inconsistency mentioned above between language and checkbox (see the picture for Impress and compare it to the one for Writer, noting the difference between USA and UK English). In other words, the sequence of steps gives different results when the languages are displayed from a Writer or an Impress window. Writer shows the language of the current document, Impress the (global) default. We use these small green checkmark icons for languages that have a spellchecking installed. How about a similar solution with an icon next to the document default? The point here is that Tools > Languages: For All Text changes Tools > Options > Language: Default Language for Documents. The expectation is to have an option for new documents and a setting for the current document. This needs to be reworked being handled in bug 103036. If I'm wrong feel free to reopen. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 103036 *** |
