[Issue 125616] New: Attempts to set English (US) as default language
does not work.
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125616
Issue ID: 125616
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Attempts to set English (US) as default language does
not work.
Product: Writer
Version: OOo 3.3 or older
Hardware: All
OS: Windows Vista
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: editing
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: starbreaker70@yahoo.com
Why does every document I open with Open Office refuse to acknowledge US
English as the default language for spelling check purposes? I find I must keep
doing that over and over again. From what I can tell, it seems to default to UK
spelling of words.

It seems the OP was a support question and not a really issue.

In reviewing this unconfirmed bug, it appears to be working as design and is a
design feature.
I reviewed this design feature on Windows 7, OpenOffice v 4.0.1.
“Default Language” Design Features are outlined in the Help Index and state the
following:
-Under Default languages for documents, select the document language for all
newly created documents.
-If you mark “For the current document only”, your choice will only apply to
the current document. Close the dialog with OK.
In OO, If English (UK) is selected in the “Default languages for documents
field” and if the check box is NOT marked for field name “For this current
document only”, the user should expect to see this default language with every
new document.
Reviewing the Default Language setting rules for Microsoft Word 2010, it
operates in the same fashion. If a user selects a default language, the change
will affect all new documents based on the NORMAL template.
There is no heavy outcry of customer complaints in blogs or on the internet.
There are Federal and state laws to protect limited english proficient (LEP)
individuals when they are provided health care services or social programs. OO
writer tool and Microsoft Word do not fall under this category or regulation.
There is no indicator on the web that shows financial hardship associated to
the current design as a result of dissatisfied customers or unmet user
expectations.
This information is provided to help clarify if a change is needed from
development. If it's determined no change is needed, the bug can be closed or
withdrawn, whichever the project team feels is appropriate.
The design feature “rules” are outlined in the Help Index for OO (naviagation
outlined below for reference).
1) From the menu bar, Select “Help” then “OpenOffice Help F1”
2) In the Search term field box, enter “languages;locale settings”, hit Enter.
3) Scroll down in the right window pane to sub heading titled “Default
Languages for Documents”
4) Select the Hyperlink, Selecting the Document Language
5) Review content outlined for “Selecting a language for the whole document”,
Rule #2
A screen shot of the GUI pop-up window showing the defualt langague field is
attached for reference.

Unable to replicate this issue in OpenOffice 4.0.1 using Mac OX 10.9.5.
I used the following steps to successfully change default language settings:
1. Launch OpenOffice and choose Text Document
2. Select Preferences from the OpenOffice menu.
3. Expand Language Settings and choose Languages.
4. Choose English (USA) from the list of Western default languages for
documents.
5. Click OK.
To confirm the changes persisted:
6. Quit OpenOffice and re-launch.
7. Choose Text Document.
8. Open the Language Preferences dialog box (see steps 1 and 2) to confirm the
new language setting was preserved.
9. Additionally, confirm that spell check appropriately redlines words that are
spelled differently in the UK as compared to USA (color/colour,
neighbor/neighbour, rumor/rumour, honor/honour, flavor/flavour). See
DefaultEnglishUSA.png and DefaultEnglishUK.png attachments
In my follow-up tests, the new default language setting persisted after exiting
and relaunching OpenOffice. I successfully changed the Default Language back
and forth between English (UK) and English (USA), as well as Spanish (Spain)
and French (France).

Your version 3.3 (or older?) is obsolete. If your problem is due to a bug,
maybe it may have been fixed in the last release 4.1.1.
Update and try it!

OOo 3.3 or older means that the issue occurs not only in newer versions. But
the OP stated not the version of AOO he is using.
@OP: Every document have its own language setting. If the document was saved
with en-GB this language setting will be used if you open the document
independent from the settings in your AOO. If you create a document from a
template the new document will have the same language settings as the template.
