I downloaded and installed
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.3_Win_x86_install_en-GB.exe. To my distress, when
I first started it, it accepted "color" (US spelling) and rejected
"colour" (English spelling).
I thought perhaps it picked up my previous use of en-US from my profile,
but I got the same effect installing on a new Windows 10 computer that
has never run any OpenOffice before.
It is using English, not American, spellings in the user interface, but
I would have expected documents to also default to the installation
language.
What language is supposed to be used, by default, for user documents?
it's the language from the underlying system.
The same values are set when it comes to other formattings. E.g., you
will see "US-Dollar" for the currency and not "British Pound".
However, the UI interface is the language from the installation file.
*IMHO* it's OK that not all settings are set to the language of the
installation file. However, for the default spell check it's
discuss-worthy.
I'll check that it is not a regression. If it isn't, we can put it aside
for now. It does seem strange that I need to do more to get en-GB
spelling after installing an en-GB AOO.
for me it's not that strange as I see the main purpose of the respective
language in the install file for the UI (menus, help, etc.).
Just think of installing 2-3 langpacks. So, what should now be the
default language? Hm ...
However, as written the setting the spell check language is
discuss-worthy. I can think of this as a secondary purpose when choosing
a specific language for OpenOffice.
