Description nathancharles 2010-04-21 10:48:33 UTC 
Using Ubuntu 9.04 with the openoffice bengali package installed. We're 
experiencing an issue where index numbers and phone numbers revert to English 
after being entered in Bengali.  

To reproduce,
1. create a new table
2. enter text in Lohit Bengali Font and deselect
Numbers revert to Latin (English) script

I don't know if this is related
Format -> Character -> Language doesn't have a Bengali Option

Right click -> Formatting number to change the language also doesn't seem to 
have an effect.

To report here please check this problem:
- in the latest build (3.2), 3.1 is too old.
- in our official build and not the Ubuntu one.

AFAIK we don't have a Bengali package but this should be reproducible with an
English one (not an UI related problem).

Plus please attach a sample document showing the problem.

Does it help when you disable the automatic "Number recognition" in the context
menu of the table?
Comment 3 nathancharles 2010-04-22 05:13:25 UTC 
Yes, Disabling Number recognition seems to be a work around.  Is this expected 
behavior?  I would have thought that setting the language in the tools menu would 
keep the script.
Comment 4 michael.ruess 2010-04-23 14:41:31 UTC 
MRU->OS: when entering a Bengali number (just switch keyboard input to Bengali
and enter numbers) into table the number recognition will change it to a Latin
number.
It is the same in Calc, maybe this is same root cause / duplicate of issue 71746.
