Description Al Maloney 2019-06-04 23:00:29 UTC
On a Mac using macOS 10.12 go to /Applications/LibreOfficeDev.
Invoke «Show Package Contents»
Go to «Contents/Resources»
This directory is missing «en.lproj»

I copied this directory from LODev 6.2.5 and inserted it into LODev 6.3.0 beta1
This appears to have solved the problem.

Is this the same as Bug# 109090?

Confirmed in IRC by 2 people, One Australian with German menus and another user with Greek menus

According to cloph, this might have started after  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8e3f4aeb401cb478374928d78bcbfc737bfd4d97

Just to make sure:  Am I right that (1) LibreOfficeDev.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj is an empty directory in your 6.2.5 installation, and that (2) creating (copying) such an empty directory as LibreOfficeDev.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj in your 6.3.0 solved the problem for you?
Comment 7 Stephan Bergmann 2019-07-16 11:57:59 UTC
xisco, when you changed the subject from "Print dialogue lacks english" to "MacOS: System menus are not in english", you wanted to write "System dialogs", not "System menus", right?

Yes, the presence of the correct but empty directory seems to make it happy, system dialogs are all in English.

OK, I can now reproduce that too when I set Slovenian as primary language (before English as second choice and then, as it happens to be for me, German as third choice):  In LO 6.3, Writer's "File - Open..." and "File - Print..." dialogs contain German controls, which change to English when adding an empty LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/en.lproj directory.

Could this be bibisected, I mean, there is probably some code removed or changed since 6.2 that just doesn't create that empty dir (or maybe there is a change in which a new/updated compiler version on macOS behaves)?
