Created attachment 119145 [details] Date control with incorrect month name when switching language Debian 8.1 Cinnamon FR_fr LibreOffice 5.0.1 (from TDF) When switching LibreOffice from FR_fr to EN_us (via Tools > Options), the date control in forms doesn't correctly show the month names. They keep showing as "Janvier", "Février", etc. instead of "January", "February", etc. This leads to strangely set dialogs where the "Today" and "None" buttons are correct and the month name is not (see attachment). I guess this has to see with LibO getting the month names from the OS, which in this case is actually FR_fr. Unless I'm missing something, it would be better to have fully localized strings, though.
Just to be sure, did you restart LO after the switching?

Hi Jean-François, Displaying is correct if Locale setting keeps the original language when User interface is set to another.

So changing Locale setting and User interface to English gives the month names in English as you expect it into date control in forms, yes?
Confirmed on LO 5132 OSX. Just asked this question on the dev list as to where this information is obtained.
@Jean-François : how did this work previously to your current discovery ? In other words, is this a regression ?
@Jean-François : I'm also seeing that the day abbreviations are not aligned with the data number array in LO 5132 - do you see this too ? This would be a separate bug.
Yeah, the calendar follow the settings of the Locale not the UI Language. Writer works the same way for its field names for days/weeks etc. I don't think we should change this.

Caolan, sorry to disagree but I think that, for consistence sake, the calendar UI should follow LibO's chosen UI language, regardless of the OS language.

Anyway, I keep your question in mind.
