--- Comment #3 from Fabian Tröster <[email protected]> ---
Thank you for your kind response and sorry for being so harsh in the first
place. Sorry, too, for not replying earlier.

Several things:
Re 1) Please note that this problem occurs only because the wizard creates a
document with the wrong paper format selected. If the wizard from a German
setup would create DIN A4 documents in the first place, the folding marks would
be in the correct place anyway. So let me stress again: the real issue is not
the misaligned folding marks, the real issue is that the wizard produces
documents with paper size "Letter" selected instead of the more sensible DIN
A4. And to know that A4 would be in order is easy to find out: just read the
language localization setting of the underlying operating system and if this
results in "German" or "Deutsch" or "Deutschland" or "DE" or any other
permutation along the way: just make a DIN A4 document.

Re 2) Thank you for your screenshot, but I have to say, that's not at all
related to the problem I described. I wasn't talking about the localisation of
the software itself, but the language selection in the configuration of the
paragraph template (zu Deutsch: Absatzvorlage). I attached a little screenshot
to make it clear. In this screenshot the language setting is correct, but: if
you look at a document created by the wizard we have the language set to
English, which is really wrong if you're in a German setup.

That last point -- the wizard creating documents with the language setting for
the paragraphs set up wrong -- brings me neatly to your note about your policy.
You see, I think those two issues are very closely related and may even have
the same source.
Here's why: Having the page set up to Letter instead of DIN A4 in a German
setup and at the same time having the paragraph language setting to English
instead of German is really the same thing. Letter and English language setting
vs. A4 and German language setting. One thing is set up for English (American)
needs, while the other is set up for German needs.
I maintain therefore that this is exactly one bug and should be treated that
way, otherwise there's the risk of getting one part of it fixed while the other
is not. And that's just no fix at all.

Re old bugreport. I will try to find it and post again. I may have used a
different user account at that time.
