Description Thorsten Wagner 2019-05-26 19:56:08 UTC
Description:
Using LO with english UI and german locale settings (measurement units etc.), native dialogs are displayed correctly in english. Operating system dialogs, e.g. Open File, are displayed in german.

Steps to Reproduce:
(1) Open Preferences / Language Settings / Languages

(2) Select "Default - English (USA)" for User Interface

(3) Select "German (Germany)" or something else different from "English (USA)" as Locale Setting.

(4) Open Startcenter

(5) Open File

Actual Results:
Dialog is displayed in german.

Expected Results:
Dialog is displayed in english.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
Issue exists on macOS at least. LO is build with german as additional language although not selected for UI. Issue exists with "English (USA)" as locale setting too. So it probably depends on building LO with german as additional language.

FWIW, I don't reproduce this with my older master build :

Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 03a2f3ec4316a3953c2fa40e6e59c2ebbc824d09
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.4; UI render: default; VCL: osx; 
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded
Comment 2 Alex Thurgood 2019-05-27 09:21:49 UTC
Using FR locale with English-USA UI
Comment 3 Alex Thurgood 2019-05-28 07:14:49 UTC
Unfortunately, no repro for me either with

Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 92b0b8d78d69bd917842b09af7888b402144baeb
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.14.4; UI render: default; VCL: osx; 
Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

this is my home built master on macOS from 27/05/2019, and no specific FR lang-pack build, just default USA.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?
You can install it alongside the standard version.
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build
Comment 5 Thorsten Wagner 2019-07-22 10:07:29 UTC
Issue has disappeared with build from current master.
