Question #79139 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/79139
Tom proposed the following answer: Ok, just to clarify System - Administration - Language Support is set to "English (South African)" and also in OpenOffice Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages is also set to "English (South African)"? With both these set right it really should be behaving itself. I think this is really weird. I have tried it myself and even tried formatting individual cells using a right-click which allowed me to set a different language inside individual cells. When i edited the currency's "." to a "," it messed things up. There is an option for a special character which i forgot to try :( I think this is something to ask the translators about and see if they can get it fixed although that route is likely to take a while but at least it would be a permanent fix and helps other people too. The weirdest thing about this is that Mark Shuttleworth is/was South African so i'm amazed this hasn't been noticed before!
