Priority: medium
Bug ID: 65259
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: CONFIGURATION: paragraph style sheets in in wrong
language when using wizard
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.3.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
I have had this problem for several versions now and I can't really take it any
longer.
I'm using the German release of LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 installed on Windows 7
64bit. But the bug also occurs on different other versions of LibreOffice
running under Windows (XP, Vista and 7), Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS, 12.04 LTS,
Linux Mint and others.
So it's neither version specific nor is it dependent on the used operating
system. You can consider this ruled out to begin with. Thank you.
Whenever creating a new document (in Writer) using the wizard the resulting
document is set up completely wrong.
It starts with the page setup: the paper format is set to "Letter". That might
be fine in the U.S. of A. but here in Europe we use a more sensible DIN format
paper called "A4". So in order for the printout to work I need to reset this
manually which defeats the purpose of this wizard. Also: this means that the
folding marks (which I find useful if I have to send a letter, doh) are in a
completely wrong place.
Then we go on to the paragraph style sheets:
All of them are set to default language "English". This has direct influence on
a couple of settings, not least the spellchecker.
Well, guess what, not all people in the world speak English as their native
language. So, since the operating system I'm running LibreOffice is set to
"German" and LibreOffice itself is the German version, I'd expect everything --
and I mean *everything* -- set to German defaults.
Because if this isn't set automatically in such a way, then it defeats the
purpose of templates and wizards. It is just more work with them, than without
them.
And in case you're wondering why I'm not polite: I reported this bug two years
ago already. Nobody seemed to care, nobody seemed to think this was an issue,
nobody fixed it. Instead the old bugreport was closed without taking action.
It's easy: just have wizards and templates check for the language of the
operating system. It really is easy.
If LibreOffice is to step up against things like Microsoft Office, you really
need to fix that.
Oh, by the way: this has worked in OpenOffice.org 3.x -- I don't know, maybe
you need to get some of the old sources back. Maybe during your code-cleanup
you lost all the important bits ... just a hunch.
