--- Comment #7 from Rizal Muttaqin <rizmut at libreoffice.org> ---
Localization is one of the strong aspects that LibreOffice tries to offer. As
per my comment written in, LibreOffice supports 119 languages ​​while MS Office
only 86 languages
(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-languages-is-office-available-in-26d30382-9fba-45dd-bf55-02ab03e2a7ec).
Whereas in Wikipedia, LibreOffice supports 115 languages while MS Office is
listed as supporting 102 languages. I guess here that there is a tendency to
reduce localization support in MS Office products.

Seeing this kind of positive trend, I think it's very good if all aspects of
technology also support it. This includes icons. As mentioned in previous
comments that some of these localized formatting icons depend on what UI
language is used. That is, the most appropriate solution is to change the UI
locale. After all, I'm guessing the reason is because of familiarity, right?

Or maybe instead of changing the icon, an additional option/toggle when
changing the UI interface e.g. "Localize icon" can help although this solution
requires coding so the effort required will be greater.

So my take from icon designer point of view is WONTFIX.
