Description Eyal Rozenberg 2025-08-23 19:26:55 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Download the LibOCon 2025 presentation template: https://nc.xport.hu/s/27bPKpqSPrJdecK
2. Create a new presentation with the template, or open the template for editing
3. View > Master Slides
4. Choose some master

Expected result:
Placeholder text shown in the language of your LibreOffice UI.

Actual result:
Placeholder text shown in Hungraian. Not sure where exactly that originated, but the template was created by people in Hungary, so, they had Hungarian chosen in all sorts of places I suppose.

And - you can't make it switch to English (or your LO UI language) either!
