--- Comment #10 from Adalbert Hanßen <[email protected]> ---
Felix, looking at your example I with LibreOfficeDev with UI set to German I
see these applied paragraph styles:

Standard
Fließtext
Titel (user)
Überschrift
Überschrift 1 (user)

Setting the UI to English(USA) I see these applied paragraph styles:

Default Paragraph Style
Body Text
Heading
Title
Überschrift 1

Apparently the names of the built in were translated (probably following a list
of all names in all UIs) and the differing ones introduced by the user have not
been translated.

This is what has been described by Dieter in
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163123#c3.

I would not be surprised if the answer to this question were: “Microsoft is to
blame for introducing new user supplied styles.” This is certainly open to
debate, but LibreOffice should be able to handle documents from other systems
as well as possible! And for a user, it doesn't matter which program makes
their work more difficult; they have to find a way out of such a situation. 

In my original post, I already gave some hints how this nuisance could be
overcome by offering something to merge styles (i.e. apply style x to all
existing uses of style y - this would have to be applicable to paragraph styles
and to character styles) or something the like. Of course with your findings,
since contacts with people using Microsoft Word may happen repeatedly, I would
ask to foresee such a style merge operation by a list of 'old style' : 'new
style' which can come from a file!
