Description: Measurement units in the 'File'->'Print' dialog are always in mm, regardless of the application's unit settings. All other dialogs (page setup, column width, row height, image position & size, etc.) seem to follow the application's unit setting. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Libre Office Calc or Writer 2. Set Application's 'Measurement Unit' to 'Inch' 3. Go to File -> Print 4. Observe measurement units on preview pane and in 'Paper size' dropdown Actual Results: measurement units are displayed metric Expected Results: measurement units should follow the application settings Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 6.1.6.3 (x64) Build ID: 5896ab1714085361c45cf540f76f60673dd96a72 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group threaded

confirmung, it seems, print dialog follows Locale settings from Menu Tools/Options.../Language Settings/Languages/Locale setting with [English (USA)]: Version: 6.3.0.4 (x64) Build ID: 057fc023c990d676a43019934386b85b21a9ee99 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: print dialog shows "in" and with [English (Canada)]: Version: 6.3.0.4 (x64) Build ID: 057fc023c990d676a43019934386b85b21a9ee99 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-CA (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: it shows "mm". but i am not sure, if this is a bug, cause one can change the "Measurement Unit" separat for each component (writer, calc).

I can confirm that setting the locale under 'Language Settings' changes the default measurement units for the program, however setting the application (Calc, Writer, ...) locale does not change the units in the print dialogue - it seems to only look at the 'Language Settings', not the application specific settings. Agreed - Not necessarily a bug. This may be by design so that 'print' dialogue is unaffected by application setting and always shows print size according to locale. Seeing page sizes in 'point' or 'pica' may not be desirable. Marking as 'Resolved'
