2.En "herramientas" abrir "Idioma", "para todo el texto", "más" y en "formatos" seleccionar "Catalán (Valencia)".

I changed the bug Component from Base to LibreOffice, because it affect more than one module.

Writer, Impress, Draw: menu Format - Character - Font tab, Language field.
Calc: menu Format - Cells - Numbers tab, Language field.

Also you can choose menu Tool - Options - Language Settings - Languages (or secondary click the status bar on the language field and choose More), and search in the Western languages for documents.

English UI says Catalan (Valencian).

I can not discuss what the correct language name is.

Eike: any thoughts here?

Comment 3 Eike Rathke 2022-07-04 10:08:19 UTC

The IETF language tag is ca-valencia (or ca-ES-valencia for the locale) so "Catalan (Valencian)" is a technically correct name, there is no discrete ISO 639-3 code for Valencian. If the Valencian localization team wants the UI name translated to "Valencià" or "Valenciano" it is free to do so.

Note that "There is a political controversy within the Valencian Community regarding its status as a glottonym or as a language on its own, since official reports show that slightly more than half of the people in the Valencian Community consider it as a separate language, different from Catalan, although the same studies show that this percentage decreases dramatically among younger generations and people with higher studies."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valencian_language

And "Valencian is considered a separate language by about half the people in Valencia, while others consider it to be a variety of Catalan. It is classified by linguists as a Western dialect of Catalan, and the Valencian Language Academy (Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua, AVL) considers Valencian and Catalan to be two names for the same language."

This was already discussed in bug 114928, so marking as a duplicate although I appreciated the references provided by Eike.
Please discuss there if there is more to add.
