--- Comment #1 from Rainer Bielefeld <[email protected]> ---
More or less [Reproducible] with reporter's sample and "LibreOffice 3.6.3.2”
German UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 58f22d5]" on German WIN7 Home Premium
(64bit).

But when I open reporter's sample with UI language and Locale = English,
everything seems ok after I have updated the links.

So currently it's not a general insolvable problem. Works like a charm with
3.7.0 Master, and also with 3.6.3.2 rc if I switch to Enlish-USA locale.

Nothing new, same behavior already in OOo3 an OOo 2

This one is related to
"Bug 47109 - 'Insert external data' form HTML table imports US dates 31/12/2012
with Text FORMATTING"
"Bug 53103 - FILEOPEN INSERT 'Link to external data' 'Select the language to
use for import' does not make a difference with dates/numbers"
"Bug 53177 - CONFIGURATION "Use 'English (USA)' locale for numbers" messes with
dates and "insert link to external data""


But of course it would be more comfortable to have a temporary locale setting
for the import, so I think this is a 

Request for Enhancement
=======================
Current Situation:
------------------
Menu 'Insert -> External Data' has the possibility to select Language and
"Special Number Recognition", but not to to modify Locale settings for the
import. So "Strings looking similar to Numbers often will be imported as
STRINGS, not as Nubers, because decimal separator of LibO locale does not match
with decimal separator on HTML page.
That problem can be solved by modifying Locale setting before import, but that
also has impact for other opened documents, and when the Document will be
updated next time with LibO locale different from External Data locale the
problem reappears.

Desired improvement
-------------------
Allow some document related only for data update used locale setting.
This might have ODF compatibility impact, so may be that locale can't be saved
with the document, but has to be asked for every Data Update (what will be
resky, how can user know locale of data he wants to import).

That's not a trivial issue, too many questions might annoy users for standard
import situations.
