From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: I live in the UK and I have correctly changed the locale and currency setting to the UK (under options tab, lagnuage settings) and these changes are currectly set when I open and close writer. The default language for the interface has only English(USA) as an option for me. This is not a problem, however, even though I change the default language for the document from ENglish(USA) to English(UK), this change is not saved on restarting the writer (however as said before currency and locale are correctly saved). I have made sure I have not checked the box to make the changes only for this document. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-writer-1.9.104-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Options -Languages Settings - languages 2.change default language for document (western) 3. change to English(UK) Actual Results: change is not kept on closing writer down. Expected Results: Default language for all documents should be English(UK) Additional info:
type locale in a terminal, what is the result ? rh OOo takes its locale from the system locale on startup.
Yeah, just set your locale to en_GB.UTF-8 and writer will use that as it's default.
