It may depends on details of local installation, locales, which language
support components are installed, etc.

In my case, Chinese Windows with LO 7.0.4, English UI [1], there is no German
option in the choice of languages, either from the status bar or Tools >
Languages menu.

But if I go through a rather long (and IMHO not very intuitive) process of:
1. menu Tools > Language > For Selection > More...;
2. a Character Formatting dialog with Font tab displayed opens;
3. choose German from the Language dropdown list for "Western Text Font", click
OK button.
...then it indeed works.  I personally feel this is even more convoluted than
the process I used in bug 139288 comment 4.

Also it doesn't work if the original language of the field is Chinese (which is
shown as Multi-language on status bar), but that's the topic for another bug
report.
