Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 113496
UI Language switch based on glibc locale
Last modified: 2020-04-09 13:45:59 UTC
Issue 111003 provided support for using glibc locale modifiers to set OOo default locale and document language but lack support for UI switching. When started with sr_RS@latin document language gets switched to Serbian Latin but English stays as default UI language even Serbian Latin (sh) language pack is installed. If one switch to Serbian Latin manually, presented UI shows "Default - Serbian Latin" (Podrazumevano - srpski latinicom) in the UI lang list box but after selecting this option, it goes unexpectedly back to English.
My guess (though totally unproven) is that the LocaleBackend code interferes, handling things more simplistically. One more reason to merge these things, see also issue 103411. Assigning to spare time account.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
