Confirmed with: Version: 6.3.3.2.0+ Build ID: libreoffice-6.3.3.2-snap1 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.3; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: ja-JP (ja_JP.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded But I'm not sure if this behavior is a bug or specification. Even if the default paragraph language setting is Japanese, the paragraph language will be English when I enter English as the first character. Then I enter Japanese, the entire paragraph language will be Japanese. However, the language shown in the status bar seems to be indicated "for selection," not a "for paragraph," and I guess it is correct that the "for selection" language changes depending on whether the characters are Japanese or English.

Looking in more detail, when I type single quote ' the language in the status changed from Chinese(Taiwan) to English, but when I input Chinese character it jumped back to Chinese (Taiwan). It looks like showing the (detected) language of current character (selections). And the language settings and detecting seem to be for spellchecking, which would be usually useless in CJK, but would easily confuse users. @Heiko, do you think it a UX problem to discuss? Putting keyword first.
With tools > options > language you set the default for new documents [1] but the paragraph style [2] is relevant too. Not sure what the Default is for you. And as far as I know, the language is bound to the font meaning a non-latin character switches it to English. It makes perfect sense for RTL vs. LTR: if you write some Arabic or Hebrew text from right to left including sections in English you want this part to be left to right. And the status bar reflects this. Correct, Regina? There was a related request in bug 127897.

Waiting for response from Regina. My take: WFM.
