--- Comment #7 from Eike Rathke <er...@redhat.com> ---
This is not exactly a duplicate of bug 137742 and wasn't fixed with it; that
one implemented a workaround for OOXML documents only, not touching the ODF
case here.

I'm reopening this bug for the records of known problems, but I also refuse to
implement the same sledgehammer workaround mechanism because a language-only
attribution is *valid* in ODF context *iff* intended correctly. Google Docs
just generates broken documents here.

It seems only Google Docs text documents are affected, but not spreadsheets.

A "solution" would have to take the document type and <meta:generator> value
into account and "fix" things only for specific known bad generators. In this
case the generator is "LibreOfficeDev/6.0.5.2$Linux_X86_64", a self-built
version Google uses apparently to feed it via API and let it write ODF
documents. If needed, even an external preprocessor could fix things changing
<style:...-properties> elements'
fo:language="en" fo:country="none"
attributes to
fo:language="en" fo:country="US"
or whatever language-region / locale is desired.

In any case, whoever is affected should report the problem to Google.
