No. This setting has no relation to what you see when open *existing* documents, only to new documents, or to new text that you may enter to documents that don't define language themselves. Normally all current complex document formats, like ODF or OOXML (or older binary formats of MSO), include the information about language used when creating them. And *that* information must be used when you open those documents, not something that you define as default for new documents. So this is not a bug. However, the question is why you see the {en}, and not something like "English (UK)" or "English (South Africa)" and so on. The question is, if this is something wrong in LibreOffice at opening/import stage, or something happening when saving the files (what format are the documents? which application was used to create them?). You may want to attach a sample document that shows the problem. Then possibly the report may be confirmed, and converted to address the actual bug.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
