Description Alberto Salvia Novella 2017-08-16 22:20:32 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice recognises as default language the one set system wide, even when the current session has a different one.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install KDE.
2. Change language for an individual user session (System Settings -> Regional Settings)
3. Logout and login again to apply the change.
4. Launch an LibreOffice app.

Actual Results:  
LibreOffice recognises the old language as the default one.

Expected Results:
LibreOffice to be in the same language as the current user session.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: Yes, deleting the LibreOffice config folder doesn't fix the issue.

Please tell your settings in menu Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages. Please be exact, "Default - English(USA)" is not the same as "English(USA)".
Comment 2 Alberto Salvia Novella 2017-08-17 18:38:35 UTC
The setting is "Default - [language]".
Comment 3 Buovjaga 2017-09-12 09:57:52 UTC
Reproduced.

To be clear: in the KDE Regional settings - Language, move some other language to the Preferred languages box.

I cannot easily test this, as I'm no longer using KDE Plasma.

Buovjaga,
Do you still reproduce this in KDE5 ?
Comment 7 Buovjaga 2019-06-21 14:01:44 UTC
Still repro with 6.2.4

Comment 9 Alberto Salvia Novella 2022-12-29 05:27:09 UTC
I think it shall be the other way around: that you try to reproduce the bug, instead of making me do twice as much work.
