            Bug ID: 139415
           Summary: Language of date field is not changed by menu
                    Tools->Language
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

Description:
Documents using several languages is nothing special. For example you send new
years greetings in your local language and in English.

Assume the case you are writing a letter. You add a date field to get e.g.
"December, 31, 2020". For the second language, you need the date field to
output e.g. the German "31. Dezember 2020".
The intuitive way is to highlight the fields and its surrounding text and set
the language to German. But thus does not affect the date field.

It cost me a lot of time and first with the help in bug #139288 I was able to
get the language for the field as well.

I don't know if it is a bug that the fields don't change the language the
"normal way" or a missing feature.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert a date field
2. Select it and apply the language you like to it


Actual Results:
the date field still shows English day and month names.

Expected Results:
the date field will contain the day and month names of the applied language.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
