I opened a new Writer document and went to Tools/Macro/Record....

There are 3 lang-settings at Tools>Options>LangSettings>Languages
Which one do you want to change and most important: why?
The first one ("User interface") influences menues, help files,
tool-tips and alike.
The second one ("Locale") influences the how your input is interpreted
(12/30/2000 vs 30/12/2000).
The third one ("Default for documents") influences the appearance
(output) of data. Basically it sets the language of the default styles.
This can be set up for each new document, an individual document, per
paragraph (writer:paragraph styles) or even for a text-portion
(writer:character styles). Same with cell styles in Calc.
This way you can stick with your local input method while the document
(or parts of it) shows regional typographic and numeric distictions.
