List of 353 languages on Wikipedia written in their own language
Description:
If you copy plain text into LiberOffice (Writer, Calc, Impress), text from many
languages are not displayed correctly until you set the language manually.
Otherwise, even with a proper font it is not displayed correctly. For example,
try this text (Burmese):
မြန်မာဘာသာ
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy and paste the above text to LibreOffice Writer (or other applications)
Actual Results:
Bad rendering, even with a font that contains the glyphs. If you set the CTL
language to Burmese, the text is displayed correctly.
Expected Results:
Text should be displayed correctly. Even if the language is not set
automatically.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Wikipedia has a list of supported languages, which are 353 languages at the
moment. You can see the list by going to the main page, and clicking on "353
languages":
Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
These are basic representation of a sample text in these languages. I have
attached a text version of the list, which is displayed fine in a Unicode aware
text editor like Gedit (Linux) and Notepad (Windows). But for many language it
is rendered incorrectly in LibreOffice
Tested with:
Version: 25.8.1.1 (X86_64)
Build ID: 54047653041915e595ad4e45cccea684809c77b5
CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
Please not that on my machine the locale is en-US, and the default "Complex
text language" is set to Persian in "Tools > Options > Languages and Locales >
Default Languages for Documents".
