# Selecting the Document Language

The language you select for your document determines the dictionary used for spellcheck, thesaurus and hyphenation, the decimal and thousands delimiter used and the default currency format.

- The language you select applies to the whole document.

- Within the document, you can apply a separate language to any paragraph style. This has priority over the language of the whole document.

- You can assign a language to selected pieces of text in a paragraph, either by direct formatting or with a character style. This assignment has priority over the paragraph style and document language.

## Selecting a language for the whole document

1. Choose LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options
   . Go to Language Settings - Languages.

2. Di bawah Bahasa baku untuk dokumen, pilih bahasa dokumen untuk semua dokumen yang baru dibuat. Bila Anda menandai Hanya untuk dokumen saat ini, pilihan Anda hanya akan berlaku ke dokumen saat ini. Tutup dialog dengan OK.

## Setting UI Language

1. Choose LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options
   - Language Settings - Languages.

2. Select another UI language in the "User interface" listbox.

3. Click OK and restart the LibreOffice software.
