            Bug ID: 125411
           Summary: FILSAVE DOCX and DOC: Language information lost upon
                    saving text
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
When I use LO Writer to write a text in a different language than my locale, I
can mark the locale of the text and get spelling correction in the correct
language. (So far, so good.) However, if I save as DOC or DOCX file and open in
MS Word then Word has lost the language information and treats the text as
being in my default language (and therefore finds lots of "spelling errors").

Noteworthy, if I open the DOC or DOCX file within LO Writer, then the language
information is retained. Apparently, the information is saved within the DOC or
DOCX file, but not in the correct format for MS Word. I use MS Word 2013.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a text using a different language than your locale, and choose the
correct language for the text.

2. Sample:
This sentence is in English. 
Diesen Satz ist in Deutsch. [German]
Denne sætning er på dansk. [Danish]

3. Spell-check. (If correct languages have been chosen, there should be no
spelling errors. This step will only give you assurance if you have the
relevant dictionaries installed.)

3. Save the file in DOC format or DOCX format.

4. Open the saved file in MS Word.

5. Spell-check the file within MS Word.

Actual Results:
MS Word will treat all text as your default language and find spelling errors
where the language is different.

Expected Results:
The langugage information should be stored in the DOCX or DOC file in a format
readable to MS Word, for which reason the spell-checking in MS Word should be
able to work correctly for the non-default language.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
