Created attachment 126478 [details] Example of .xlsx file with Serbian date (cyrilic), created with MS Excel365. It is working correctly with Excel but not with LO
I happens also on LibreOffice 5.2.5.1. I have Libreoffice in English but I need to show some date cells in Italian: I select the cell format as Italian, the format NNNNGG MMMM AAAA HH:mm, save as xlsx, close Calc, reopen with Libreoffice Calc. The language is back to English, if I re-open the cell format and change again the language I have to re-enter from scratch the format too. If I save as ods the language format is preserved.

Bug still in LO 6.1 alpha1.
Taking a stab at this.
(In reply to Bartosz from comment #4) > Created attachment 126478 [details] > Example of .xlsx file with Serbian date (cyrilic), created with MS Excel365. > It is working correctly with Excel but not with LO Note that the LCID 0x1C1A used there is for sr-BA Serbian Cyrillic (Bosnia and Herzegovina) for which no locale data exists yet in LibreOffice. Locales without locale data fall back to en-US in number formatter context. If it was a locale with locale data, for example 0x281A for sr-RS Serbian Cyrillic (Serbia), then the proper formatting using Cyrillic day and month names would be displayed and the format added to that locale's section. However, saving with locale information to Excel file formats currently is not possible, working on that. If someone could provide locale data for sr-BA that would be most welcome, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/LibreOffice_Localization_Guide/How_To_Submit_New_Locale_Data

It's unclear yet whether Excel really accepts the [$-...] LCID notation in every number format type, but that's what is written now if a dedicated locale (non-default-system) is set in the number formatter UI Testing by people having access to various MS-Excel and -Word products would be highly appreciated; in LibreOffice apply for example Italian (Italy) number formats of all categories (Number (General, 0, 0.00), Percent, Currency, ...) to cells and save to .xlsx, that then should have [$-410] LCID values in number format codes such as <numFmt numFmtId="..." formatCode="[$-410]..." elements in the xl/styles.xml stream. Hopefully Excel will load and not complain about any and even handle them as intended..
