On a german language OS environment try the following: - Go to Optionen/Spracheinstellungen/Sprache - Change "Benutzeroberfläche" to "English (USA)". - Click OK - Re-start LibreOffice - Go to "Options/Language Settings/Languages" - Open the drop down menu of "User interface:" **** Note that the Default item has re-label to "Default - English USA)". Correct would be "Default - German (Germany)"**** - Select change "User interface:" to "Default - English USA)" - Click OK - Re-start LibreOffice - Go to Optionen/Spracheinstellungen/Sprache Note that we now have "Benutzeroberfläche" "Default - Deutsch (Deutschland)" again. So it is only a labeling issue. Only the default item of the menu "User interface:" is affected. The similar menu "Local setting:" is not affected by this issue. I'm rather sure that this is a regression. But I cannot say which is the last good build.

I am not sure whether I understand you right. For me "Default" shows which UI is currently selected in LO but not from the Operating System. Therefore, I think there is no bug. Please correct me if there is a misunderstanding from my side.
@Andy: It IS a miss understanding from you. "Default" is the OS environment language making sure that LibreOffice always uses environment language by default (after installation).
@Andy: Otherwise a "Default" item would not make any sense. Try the "Local setting:". This one works as expected.
Ah, ok, now I understand and you are probably right if I read the LO help. The LO help says: "The 'Default' entry selects the language of the user interface for the operating system. If this language is not available in the LibreOffice installation, the language of the LibreOffice installation is the default language." Reproducible with LO 5.1.0.1, Win 8.1: The Default entry is changed for every new selected UI language.
Bug is still present in: Version: 5.1.3.2 Build ID: 1:5.1.3~rc2-0ubuntu1~trusty1 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 3.16; UI Render: default; Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8)

Not entirely convinced its a regression, but worth fixing anyway
