Bug Description

Hello,

This bug affects only the Ubuntu version of Open-/LibreOffice (though I think there is no big difference), so the OpenOffice guys redirected me here, which I guess was right.

I'm using the German version of Ubuntu 11.04 with the German version of LibreOffice 3.4.
This bug exists since I started using OpenOffice.org in Ubuntu which was version 3.0 I think.

As I said, I use the German version and don't know the exact names of the fields in English so if you have questions because you cant follow my description, just ask.

DESCRIPTION:

When I try to format a paragraph style sheet (like "Caption 1" - or is it "Title 1"?) and go to the font section, the font style descriptions are not written in German but in Spanish (e.g. "Fett" - which means "Bold" - is "Negreta").
This is definitely a bug, I don't even have the Spanish language pack installed.
As I said I know this bug for a long time, I believe since Ubuntu 8.04 with OOo 3.0.
I got this bug on every installation of any version of Ubuntu and OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.
As I said, this bug affects only the Ubuntu (and maybe more Linux distros) of LibreOffice, in Windows XP and Windows 7 this problem isn't present, that's why the OOo told me to write down this bug in here.

Hope there are some people from Germany in here who can verify this bug.
If you want I can write down the bug description in German, too.

You have to have the German language-packs installed and activated.

Strange, I have had the problem on every installation I made.
Has it something to do with the installation of the libreoffice via Synaptic?

Or didn't we look at the same spot?
I added a screenshot where the section I meant is marked, "Negreta" should be "Fett", "Cursiva" should be "Kursiv".
As you see this is the only wrong language part, the rest is perfect. And i don't get how.
Does this menu refer to another part of the system instead of the libreoffice-installation? I mean why doesn't this bug affect Windows?

I tried to get more infos on that bug and it seems it affects only MS-fonts from the ttf-mscorefonts-installer like Arial, Times New Roman etc..
I even saw, that this bug was already posted and even affects the english version of OpenOffice.org/Libreoffice:
