            Bug ID: 128159
           Summary: Built-in cross references lose their "reference type"
                    if opened or edited with LibreOffice in different
                    "User Interface" language than originally created
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
This happened when another person reviewed a document I had written, and said
all figures had lost their reference type.
When I created the document in LibreOffice Writer with English user interface,
I had to create a 'custom' number range because the document was in Portuguese,
and I had many figures - so, a number range "Figura" and many cross references
to "Figura". Those cross references use the type "Category and Number" to show,
say, "Figura 1".
At the review, the person reported that "Figura 1" was actually showing just
"1". I reopened the file in my computer, and everything was normal.
So, I tried switching LO user interface to Portuguese, just to see if that
happened. Bingo - no "Figura 1", just "1". I even tried fixing it, modifying
every field in the document, changing any "Illustration" range to "Figura", but
the problem persists if the document is opened in another user interface
language.

Steps to Reproduce:
0. LibreOffice user interface in, e.g., English (USA)
1. New document (or any document with built-in number ranges);
2. Insert caption - use any built-in number range (e.g. "Illustration");
3. Insert cross-reference to captioned item, using style "Category and Number"
(located in "Insert Reference to" dropdown);
4. Save;
5. Change LibreOffice user interface (e.g. Portuguese - Brazilian);
6. Open document saved in step 4;
7. Press space in front of that reference.


Actual Results:
Although the document looks fine when you open it, after you modify anything in
it, the cross-reference category disappears. If there where any other cross-ref
to other built-in styles, all of then disappear. 

Expected Results:
No change in cross-references.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
