Windows right click context menu language

Hi, I just installed LibreOffice on a windows 11 pc, which has a English (US) language interface, but a Greek locale system.

When I right click in a folder space to create a LibreOffice document, the context menu options of LibreOffice are all in Greek (while all the other ones are in English just like my windows language). Is that supposed to happen and how can I change it back to English?

I don’t use win 11, but 10. At the point you describe LibreOffice us not even started, as Windows handles this creation of New files on its own (and for LO it wil copy a template, named in the registry).

So think it can’t be changed somewhere inside LibreOffice. Either Win11 or the installer for LibreOffice will be responsible.

As a quick workaround I’d try to repeat installation after changing to an english locale and changing locale back after installation for Win11 and LibreOffice.

Actually this does solve the problem!

I noticed the installer was in Greek and that was also strange, thought of changing the locale temporarily, but had to ask first if there was another way.

So for the moment this is how it works in windows 11.

In fact, you may start the installer using required language, without changing system locale, using the installer command line - as described here:

msiexec /i LibreOffice_X.Y.Z_Win_x64.msi ProductLanguage=1033

(where 1033 is the language code for English (US)).
