Description:
I use the writer with German language settings working on an English text. I made own captions for figures and tables with the appropriate names. Everything works fine with captions and cross-references until I close and reopen the document. After reopening fields of cross-references change from e.g. Figure 1 to 1. The field name (under edit field, not the real text) of the original caption did change automatically form "Figure" to the German equivalent "Schaubild". So libre office writer somehow identifies the manual made caption "Figure" as the English preset and "changes" it to the German equivalent. Using other caption names than the preset captions is working. Also changing interface language to English is working to show the full cross-references again. However, adding own captions should not collide with preset captions of another language.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use German as interface language
2. manually create caption (Figure or Table)
3. name figure or table and make cross references with category and number
4. save document and reopen it

Actual Results:
Former manual created caption "Figure" will be recognized as German equivalent "Schaubild". Also manual made caption "Figure" cant be chosen anymore. As a result cross-reference will lose its category, because the caption text in the figure or table is different to the name of the caption field.

Expected Results:
Manual created caption "Figure" does not disappear and is not replaced by the German equivalent. Cross-references stay as they should be.
