            Bug ID: 127572
           Summary: Provide a locale setting with decimal point and ISO
                    date format
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
To get decimal points and time in ISO 8601 format (similar to yyyy-MM-dd
hh:mm:ss),
I am using the "en_DK" locale, as described e.g.
http://www.ivoras.net/blog/tree/2010-12-20.the-wonderful-en_dk-locale.html or
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/62316/why-is-there-no-euro-english-locale
.
(More specifically, I have set "localectl set-locale LANG=en_DK.utf8" in my
Linux Mint 19.2.)

However, this is not reflected in LibreOffice, and the en_DK locale is not even
listed under Options->Language Settings->Languages->Locale setting.

So let me sincerely suggest to add a locale setting with decimal point and ISO
date format in this internal locate settings list.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set "localectl set-locale LANG=en_DK.utf8"
2. launch LO
3. notice that the dates are still formatted as MM/dd/yyyy instead of
yyyy-MM-dd.
4. Try to find a locale in Options->Language Settings->Languages->Locale
setting that both has decimal points and yyyy-MM-dd.


Actual Results:
I did not find such locale.

Expected Results:
I should have a way to both use decimal points and yyyy-MM-dd date format.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I currently see this in Version: 6.0.7.3, which is packaged in Linux Mint 19.2
(based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS).
