We routinely get (eg.) spelling checker bugs - with often outraged users claiming that XYZ string is not in their dictionary but ABC string is - and we must be sexist, racist, etc. ;-) [ conspiracy theorism needs no rationality ]. One of the things that would help here; is to have the locale currently in-use in the Help->About dialog - so that bug filers can easily attach that to a bug. cui/source/dialogs/about.cxx has the code for the about dialog; and you can get the current locale names from sal/osl - cf. $ git grep osl_getProcessLocale Thanks !
Hi Michael, According to my understanding, following things need to be done in this task. 1. Find out the current locale by using osl_getProcessLocale() function. 2. Put this value in Help->About dialog UI. Please let me know if this is correct. Also is there a specific place in UI where you need me to keep the locale value? Thanks!

Hi Michael, I want to work on your suggestion to include OpenGL and other hardware info information in About dialog. Can you please create a bug for that for tracking. Thanks!
This bug fix comes with LibreOffice 4.4 (release notes https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4) The About dialog now informs the user about the locale they are currently using. See a graphic of the work: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:About_4.4.png
Is the system locale or the currently set LO locale to be included in the dialog, as presently the system locale is what is being shown there and if that is the intent, then a new bug report likely needs to be opened to amend the label to 'System Locale:' as the QA team misunderstood this field today.
Hmm; so - the system locale is quite important; on the other hand, I'd love to have more information there; and I don't think it has to be labelled in fact. A free-form string that we can use to diagnose issues would be great. So - I'd change the string to : "Details:" and present a ',' separated list, system then selected locale - also whether OpenGL is enabled is another chestnut we need to make visible; there - prolly worth filing a new bug for all that though =) might also be good to have the OS vendor/version too: just to make it easy to sanity check with a simple cut/paste what the user is claiming =)
New bug report for the improvement - bug 89124.
