Created attachment 55534

Example on implementation of the enhancement

In Tools > Options > Language Options > Language

We can change the spelling correction to a chosen language, and then check the
box "Only for the current document".
This is great if I want to create an English document, since my computer is in
Danish.

Though, if I want to use English currency ($, €, £, ...) other than the Danish
krone (kr.), I've got two possibilities :

Select in the current Page all the boxes, and change in Format the number
formatting to the currency I want, then select English - Country on the right
(to have the correct thousand separator etc...). Very annoying step!

Or then change in Options > Languages Options > Language : change Locale
Options to English, and all my number formatting is going to be by default
correct, just by clicking on the button "Number format: Currency" which is a
lot more convenient to use than the first solution.

The enhancement I'm requesting is : Could you add the spread action of the box
"Only for the current document" as quoted in the start, so it affects also, if
checked, the "Change Locale Options".

If the enhancement is implemented, then I check the box, and my whole document
has changed its Locale Options with "English", WITHOUT setting by default all
my new documents to English. Only this document. :)

If you need any further information, let me know, I feel it's hard to explain!
I attached a picture showing what should affect the box "Only for the current
document".

Or then it can be implemented in a "Document settings" window, a lot easier to
find! :)
