you can change it in Setting of open office.

just type this in terminal

LANG=de_DE ooffice

in that go to

TOOLS --> OPTION'S .

In that select LANGUAGE from Language and setting's menu in left pane.

Chose your required language in the left pane option's.

To make everything default select everything to default.

Hope this solves your problem.

After two days of working on this I stunbled upon a solution. I disabled everything in accessibility. English came back and was able to make it default. Dont know why this worked but it did. Thanks again
