Perhaps this is a translation issue? In English, the language box has an option to change the default language "for this document only", and it works that way for me in Linux. If that is turned on, when I start a new document it returns back to my original defaults.

Thank you for reporting the bug. 

It Changes the language for all text within the current document only, does not change default language for all documents

I can not reproduce the bug in

Comment 3 S.Zosgornik 2020-12-10 18:54:32 UTC
Than the question is why it behaves different on my system.

I just rechecked the bug, changed Tools>Language>For all Text>English (USA)
Again, Germany disappears in all Language lists and English (USA) is set as default language under Tools>Options>Languages>Default Language for Documents>Western

This time and set is new for me clothing LibO Writer and start Writer new or using File>New>Text Document resets the Default Language for Western back to German.
But also new to me is that German in the languages lists (Tools Languages) does sometimes not simply disappears but in some cases get replaced by other languages like Sami, Northern (Norway) and Sorbian, Upper. None of those languages are installed on my system.

Unable to reproduce the issue in Writer.

Language changes are only applied to specific document, for other new documents , it set with default language (English india)
