--- Comment #11 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
I updated the summary to hopefully more accurately describe the issue.

Minimal steps from a new document:
1. Open Calc
2. Right-click on cell A1 > Format cell > Font > change language to e.g. French
> OK
3. Change language for document to e.g. English (from status bar, or Tools >
Language > For all text, or Tools > Options > Language settings > Languages >
Default languages for documents)

Result: cell A1 is still in French.

UX team, what do you think?
- Is this difference between Writer and Calc desired? If so, we should probably
make it clearer (in UI / in documentation) that direct cell formatting will not
be overwritten by a change in default document language. And clarify that the
status bar in Calc is to set the "Default language for this document", and not
just the selected cells.
- Or do we need to make a document language change overwrite the direct cell
formatting?
