--- Comment #17 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 
<stephane.guil...@libreoffice.org> ---
In Writer, changing the document language in the Options dialog will change the
language of all paragraphs, but it will not change it inside text boxes. I
think we are seeing the same issue here: because Impress uses text boxes for
all text, then it looks like changing the document language changes nothing.

Plus, we have the status bar not updating accordingly, which is bug 34141.

However, new text boxes will use the new document language as expected.
But I agree that this issue makes it very cumbersome to change a whole
slideshow at once: it would have to be done in the Character dialog for each
text box.

Design/UX team: I couldn't find a duplicate report about that. It would make
sense for the document language to be applied to all existing text boxes,
right?
