Did you install ‘glibc-locales’ and set ‘GUIX_LOCPATH’ as explained in:

  
https://gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html#Locales

?

You must make sure ‘GUIX_LOCPATH’ is defined in the environment of
LibreOffice and zsh.

Do you see any locale-related warnings?

Thanks for reporting the issue!

Ludo’.
