Bug ID: 155930
Summary: Writer doesn't always let you set the language of text
to Hebrew
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When I go to Tools | Language | For selection> ... and try to pick a language
for text that is written in Hebrew, that language is not an option in the list,
even though Hebrew has its own alphabet and I am using a font that is
specifically developed to write Hebrew. It defaults to Hindi. For some reason I
am able to set Hebrew as the language in other instances. Perhaps it is for all
text that it does work. To my knowledge this is a long-standing feature.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a Writer document
2.Copy and paste Hebrew text from a webpage
3.Select a block of text
4.Set the font to Ezra SIL, a Hebrew font.
5.Attempt to set the language as Hebrew
Note: This sequence of steps is not exact. If an item is not in the LO menu,
any sequence of steps will fail to find it.
Actual Results:
Language defaults to Hindi. Hebrew or עברית is not one of the languages in the
(very long) list. I have seen this feature for many years.
Expected Results:
Hebrew would be one of the languages in the list and I could set the language
for the selection as Hebrew.
Reproducible: Sometimes
