You might want to report it as a bug: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport Sorry, but you are assuming that this is a problem with LibreOffice's ability to save in a Microsoft Excel format, and that the fault is therefore LibreOffice's. But do we know that it is possible to save a spreadsheet document in Excel format with different columns marked as being in different languages? That's the same question, effectively, as "Can you set different languages for different parts of a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel itself?" I don't know that you can. If not, the deficiency is with Microsoft's formats, and the bug report should probably go to them instead.
