Description: Contents of date fields in .docx files with a non-English "dc:language" in docProps/core.xml get rendered in American English instead of the document language defined in that "dc:language" element. This is not the case if they're in a paragraph with an explicitly defined language. (neither MS Word nor LibreOffice explicitly define paragraph language if the paragraph language matches the document language) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new document 2. Set document language to a non-English language 3. Insert a date field in a format that "shows off" which language it's in (include the month or week day, for instance). Observe that the date is shown in the document language (which is correct!). 4. Save the document as .docx 5. Close the file 6. Open the .docx again. Observe that the date is shown in US English (which is incorrect) Actual Results: Date field is (re)rendered in US English. Expected Results: Date field is (re)rendered in the document language. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.167 Safari/537.36
Created attachment 139945 [details] Document showing the problem This document has a document language (docProps/core.xml - dc:language) of "nl-NL" (Dutch). There are 3 paragraphs: one Dutch, one French, one US/English. On loading the document, only the French date field is shown in French; both others will be shown in English. Adding a new date field in the Dutch paragraph will show it in Dutch until the document is saved and loaded again. After loading, it is also in English.
I've tried this on both Linux and Windows, and it happens on both.
