You appear to be confirming that there is a locale being detected as you're
getting German and I'm getting Swedish.
I imagine you bought your machine from a local OEM who pre-installed windows
with a registry entry somewhere, set to German - as no doubt my local OEM would
have set Swedish. As The Document Foundation is actually a German entity it
would be more understandable that German has popped up as a default if a
registry value was not being accessed, but Swedish - how could that work
without some locale setting somewhere being referenced?
