Thank you for your comment. I am updating the summary accordingly.

That's the bug. This "always", this one-size-fits-all is not right for Boolean
words. They are a different beast. Roughly speaking, this has to do with the
difference between words and numbers. In the spreadsheet, I tried to show why
the UI language is more appropriate for Boolean words.

Genuine numbers are displayed fine. This report is about the display of Boolean
words.

No, this is only about the Boolean values that are displayed automatically as
words. The locale language, when it differs from the UI language, is a useful
default for the display of genuine numbers.
