Hi Christoph,

This comes with the caveat that I've never used the ODT exporter, but I
believe this language setting enters via the default ODT styles file
OrgOdtStyles.xml.  (I see some country="GB" strings in there.)

You could make a copy of this file, change the assumed country, and then
use the modified version by setting org-odt-styles-file.

Hope that helps,
Josiah
