--- Comment #8 from Andrew Watson <notinteresting at gmx.com> ---
To be absolutely clear: many of the LO 6.3.0.1 pull-down menus and dialogues
are displayed in UK English, as they should be. However, a couple of dialogues
are in German. Some dialogues have both English AND German text - see for
instance attached screen-shot of the LO 6.3.0.1 Print dialogue on my machine.

This is a bug in LO 6.3.0.1.

I run several other LO versions on this machine to help with bug triage. LO
6.2.X.X and earlier do not exhibit this behaviour. See for instance the
attached screen-shot of the LO 6.2.5.2 Print dialogue for the same file.
Observe that it's all in English. No German anywhere.

Investigating further, it seems that LO 6.3.0.1 may be confused by the fact
that I have German in my Mac OS "Language" list (see attached screen shot of
Mac OS preferences pane). However, it is not my primary language, and Apple's
support Knowledge Base
(https://support.apple.com/kb/PH25082?locale=en_GB&viewlocale=en_GB) says:

"If macOS or an app supports the primary language, menus and messages are shown
in that language. If it doesn’t, it uses the second language in the list, and
so on."

As you can see, English is my primary language.

In this case LO 6.3.0.1 seem to be displaying some menus and messages in the
primary language, but some in the third language. Removing German from the Mac
OS "Languages" list causes LO 6.3.0.1 to display some dialogues in a mixture of
English and Catalan (see attached screen shot). I have no idea where Catalan
came from!

Changing status back to UNCONFIRMED.

I'm happy to help investigate this bug further ...
