I don't know the exact details, but AFAIK it affects linguistic features like
spellchecking, hyphenation, etc., but not fields. I agree intuitively it
should also affect fields, and encourage you to file a separate bug about that.

You missed one step:
(In reply to Ming Hua from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=139288#c4">comment #4</a>)
<span class="quote">> [...] choose "Additional Formats..." in the Format column, change the

Please click the "Additional Formats..." entry of the Format column in your
screenshot, and click "OK" button, then a new dialog will open, in which you
can change the language for the field.

It's Chinese, because my Windows is in Chinese (although my LibreOffice is set
to English UI). It's not intentional, and is either some mistake of mine, or
another bug. I'll investigate later.</pre>
