While it doesn't do what I think you originally proposed, there is the "Tools -
Options - Language Settings - Languages - Default Languages for Documents"
setting, which is saved in the file and can optionally be applied to just the
current file.

It's help page actually says it should determine the language used for spell
checking, hyphenation and also the decimal separator. It certainly reads as if
it should change the locale formatting generally, overriding the default
formatting options of the user.

So it would seem this general issue has been considered in the past, with at
least some work done.

I tried it in various situations in Writer (the most likely place it should
work) but it appears to be somewhat incomplete there, and had no effect in Calc
AFAICS.

I also think that bug #34142 is not completely implemented. There are certainly
beginnings that are visible but nothing functional.

IMO if either of these lines of work were fully complete, one of them aught to
resolve this issue. That at least should be determined before starting a new
line of work.
