So, how exactly did you install LibreOffice? And did this happen with no pre-existing profile? (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #1) > So, how exactly did you install LibreOffice? And did this happen with no > pre-existing profile? Tested this on Fedora 38 Beta with latest Libreoffice version 7.5.1.2. On a fresh install, I set locale to ar_EG. Regardless what the locale is, it shouldn't detect Arabic text as Hindi. What do you have in Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages: Default Language for Documents - Complex text layout? I don't know if it is even supposed to autodetect anything or just go by that option. CTL from settings also shows Hindi (In reply to AvidSeeker from comment #4) > CTL from settings also shows Hindi Then change it to Arabic for all docs and be happy. I can inquire about how this is supposed to work. I found bug 113298 for detecting based on keyboard layout. It is said there about the input method (IM): "we support this under Windows because the IM there has a property to indicate the language the IM is for, while under Linux we don't cause it doesn't" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 113298 *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 108151 *** |
