Hello darshan!  
I am searching for the possibility, to setup the local currency and number format.  
Have installed EN-GB Unbuntu, but want to change the spreadsheet value to the german format as default.  
Manually by sheet this works, but would be nice, to change this configuration global in Collabora.

Thank you for you help!
