Autocorrection for suffix of ordinal numbers not applied to localization fr-fr

[mohican]

1) Ubuntu release : 12.04 LTS

2) libreoffice package version : 3.5.2-2ubuntu1
localization fr french français (france)
affects Writer, Calc, Impress ...

3) What should happen :

When the autocorrection option "format suffix for ordinal numbers" is checked, typing
1er 2nd 2ème 3ème ... 21ème ... should put the string following the number in exponent (1^er ...)
and with latin numbers (used for centuries) : Ier IIe IIIe ... XXIe ...

4) What happens :
nothing

(one user reported that with the libreoffice version downloaded from the libreoffice website, 1er was OK, but it was the only one.)

In LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 (Version ID : 281b639-6baa1d3-ef66a77-d866f25-f36d45f) from libreOffice, it's work only for 1er, not for 2nd
In an english of Ubuntu, 1st don't work too in 3.5.2-2ubuntu1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I do not think this bug is limited to the French localization, it also appears to affect English users. See the LibreOffice Bug 38242: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38242

Sorry about the accidental bug link. I didn't know lauchpad would do that.

Apart from that was for the English version. It is therefore a duplicate

[mohican (mohican)]

Well, it's not completely a duplicate since there are specificity for (french) localisation.

At the moment (LibreOffice 4.3.4 from ppa Ubuntu 14.04) some things work :
1er, 2e, 3e... 123e...

and some don't :
(numbers) 1ère, 2nd, 2nde, 2ème, 3ème... (centuries) Ie, IIe, IIIe... XXe...
