That is your operating system's dialog, it displays buttons and labels according to your operating system's locale setting.

Created attachment 152653 [details] LO 6.3.0.1 print dialogue incorrectly displayed in mixed Catalan and English
To be absolutely clear: many of the LO 6.3.0.1 pull-down menus and dialogues are displayed in UK English, as they should be. However, a couple of dialogues are in German. Some dialogues have both English AND German text - see for instance attached screen-shot of the LO 6.3.0.1 Print dialogue on my machine. This is a bug in LO 6.3.0.1. I run several other LO versions on this machine to help with bug triage. LO 6.2.X.X and earlier do not exhibit this behaviour. See for instance the attached screen-shot of the LO 6.2.5.2 Print dialogue for the same file. Observe that it's all in English. No German anywhere. Investigating further, it seems that LO 6.3.0.1 may be confused by the fact that I have German in my Mac OS "Language" list (see attached screen shot of Mac OS preferences pane). However, it is not my primary language, and Apple's support Knowledge Base (https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25082?locale=en_GB&viewlocale=en_GB) says: "If macOS or an app supports the primary language, menus and messages are shown in that language. If it doesn’t, it uses the second language in the list, and so on." As you can see, English is my primary language. In this case LO 6.3.0.1 seem to be displaying some menus and messages in the primary language, but some in the third language. Removing German from the Mac OS "Languages" list causes LO 6.3.0.1 to display some dialogues in a mixture of English and Catalan (see attached screen shot). I have no idea where Catalan came from! Changing status back to UNCONFIRMED. I'm happy to help investigate this bug further ...
Not that I can confirm it, but we had someone today in QA IRC, who had a Greek file picker on MacOS, with an About info of: Version: 6.3.0.1 Build ID: 41ac97386aba908b6db860cfb4cfe2da871886ae CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.13.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: en-US (en_IT.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded There seems to be something broken with localization on MacOS. Do you see the same problems with the previous beta builds (just to get anything started)? If you're familiar with git, you can try to bibisect the bug using https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/admin/projects/bibisect-mac64-6.3 More info here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bibisect/OS_X

To get this corrected, all I need to do is add the directory «en.lproj» to the «Resources» directory as each release comes out.
