About the user interface language: The offical versions are completely seperate and you are expected to have a complete openoffice tree for every user interface language, and I don't know of any plans to improve that. With the Debian packages, Martin Quinson has come up with a way of having more than more user interface available. The principle is, you copy the language files in program/resource from each language's installation set into the installed tree under program/resource. Then, you can configure OpenOffice to use a particular language by tweaking the XML configuration file in the user's workstation install directory. I guess you could do a similar thing under Windows, too. > Ok, this is nice but what about the user interface, I've seen that the > are several languages for OpenOffice.org Debian packages, so that may > be a solution if it fits your environment Yes, we introduced that in -4, although -5 should be much better for this (not yet uploaded) > (i.e. if you are running > unstable (I think it also runs on testing with few extra packages from > unstable) To be precise, you need to install just libgcc1 from unstable. > , however I haven't tried them and I don't know about if you > can configure the language for each individual user.
