--- Comment #8 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
Care has to be taken that there are only a few places where it would actually
make sense to replace Language with Locale (and indeed would be more correct).

One is of course the number formatter's Language/Locale, one other Tools ->
Options -> Language Settings -> Languages, Formats, Locale setting already
correctly is named Locale. Other two adhoc coming to mind are CSV and HTML
import dialogs. There may be more of course.

All places related to spell-checking, grammar, ..., i.e. the font
character/paragraph attribution, should continue to use Language, even if the
language listbox has the same entries as the locale listbox (or actually the
locales list is a subset of the languages list) and the entries may contain a
combination of language and country (plus further information related to the
actual language tag, e.g. dictionary), and even if (in Writer) the attribute
may affect field content in that it also determines the number format. Or name
it "Language/Locale" to clarify perhaps.
