I made a document whose principal language is Brazilian Portuguese, I also added paragraphs with the following languages: Spanish, Japanese and Latin; for all of them I've set their respective languages.

I have no problems with the Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese texts, but the Latin one is misconfigured. This problem appears when: 

* I export the document from .odt to a .docx and I open it in Microsoft Office 2013: The language of the paragraph written in Latin was set as it is in Brazilian Portuguese (the main language of the document). However paragraphs written in other languages like Japanese or Spanish remain correctly configured. But, when I open this .docx file through LibreOffice (the same program that created this file), the language configuration of the paragraph is correct.

* I create a .docx document through Microsoft Office 2013 and I open it in LibreOffice: Language of the Latin paragraph is set as "{la}", which has the effect of "With no language". But other paragraphs in foreign language like the ones set as Spanish and Japanese work well 


Here is the full list of compatibility problems that I've found:

My result is a bit different: If I open attachment in MS Word 2013 there is no information about the language of lorem-ipsum paragraph. If I open it in LO, paragraph language is Latin.

I confirm it with

Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 3e64065612acec2eb29aa21e2b515953422256d7
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; 
TinderBox: Win-x86_64@62-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2019-08-15_22:57:26
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

But can't see, that language is a paragraph setting, but a font setting (see Format => Character => Font Tab => Language). Therefore I changed bug summary.

As we heard in Bug 35186 - Headings change language when applied, language is in odf a paragraph setting that is not available in current UI. See also Bug 120932 - Access to the language property at paragraph settings.

Dear hmslima1992,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
