Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Libre Office localization for multinational work environment

Thanks again to Johnny, as you stated it solves partially the problem.
Unfortunately our set of definitions are not fitting German 
(Leichtenstein) perfectly. So in a single document we have to define 
several cells with different local formats. (i.e. To see Eng. names of 
the days, or usd symbol for the currency and etc.)
But for sure Johnny's suggestion is very useful and works for particular 
needs.
Thanks again.
