--- Comment #12 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
My UI lang is English (USA), locale German, default language for documents
English (USA). Dictionaries for both languages are installed. Testing with
v7.5.1.2, VCL kf5.

Calc starts a new document with Text Language = German (no idea why) but I can
change it via status bar to English and "Hello World" is recognized then as
correct. Switching the language means correctly to change it for the 'Default'
cell style.
Cell R10 in the example, is defined as French (France), removing the direct
formatting (ctrl+M) makes it English for me. And subsequently language is
applied to this cell.


So I can follow Eike's comment 8. And we must not overwrite direct formatting
by any operation (this summary is WF).
However, the situation is very much unclear to users as the direct formatting
is potentially overlooked and not aligned with the various places where the
language is set (statusbar and menu). Calc also lacks on something like tools >
language > for selection. Putting all together I think at least the statusbar
needs to reflect the currently active language on the focused cell.
