If you see English (USA) and not English (UK), then you need to install the English (UK) language pack and set it as the default language in Windows 10. When you want to switch to English (UK), you have to select the English (UK) language, not an "English" keyboard. The default keyboard layout for English (USA) is US Keyboard and the default keyboard layout for English (UK) is United Kingdom Keyboard.

jrkrideau, I can type Cyrillic in an English document, template or no template, quite accidentally, and then this starts.
Dmitri wrote:jrkrideau, I think you're right. Perhaps how I switch lettering is the reason why. You see, in Windows you've got to switch the Windows-run keyboard; it won't help if you just switch Character Styles in the OO menu. I guess this is it that plays the dirty trick.
Thanks for pointing at LibreOffice; I need to try that one.

I just checked ano currently I have four keyboard layouts installed but changing keyboards has no effect on language. I can type using a Russian keyboard layout but, in my case, LO still treats the text as Canadian English until I change the Style.

Windows is different. There isn't a keyboard layout setting in Windows like there is in Linux. Instead, Windows has an input language setting which Linux doesn't have. Each input language has a default keyboard layout associated with it and the user can add more keyboard layouts for each input language. To change the language, the user selects an option that includes both the language and the keyboard layout. There is no independent keyboard layout option that doesn't include a language.
