Re: [libreoffice-users] Language setting in Calc

This may be an answer.

Choose Tools - Options. Go to Language Settings - Languages. 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.
