Created attachment 192825 [details] dateTime.odp: difficult to change date/time to your own language When the first master does not contain a date/time object, then the insert header/footer dialog does not detect the language currently applied to the date/time. Instead, it shows the locale language. So the user sees on the slide the date in some foreign language, but in the dialog sees the result will be in their own language. However, when they press "apply" nothing changes. Steps to reproduce: 1.) open dateTime.odp. Notice the footer is in the Finnish language. 2.) Insert - Header and Footer. Notice the suggested date/time string in the dialog is in your own language. 3. OPTIONAL: change the format to MMM dd yyyy (Feb 27 2024) 4.) press "Apply" and the Finnish language remains (even though step 3 is applied) If you change the language to something else, then it will work.
