Just what subject says, is it possible? I can't find any commandline argument or alike immediately visible. Would be of help for translation editing.
Currently, oo.o searches for its previous instance running and ignores starting from, e.g., environment with different locale setting.
You need to make the two instances use different user data directories. OOo is not prepared for sharing (writable) user data and settings between two instances.
There used to be a special command line parameter to do that. In OOo 1.1.x or 2.0 prior to m97 you could do
soffice -userid=/path/to/alternate/directory or soffice.exe -userid=D:\path\to\some\directory
to start another instance of OOo.
In recent builds this is broken (I'm still trying to figure out how that happened without even an announcement).
There is an alternative solution you can still use, but it uses a lower-level mechanism. For this you need to specify a correct absolute file URL to your alternative directory, e.g.
soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///path/to/alternate/directory or soffice.exe -env:UserInstallation=file:///D:/path/to/some/directory
Note: For each new alternative directory the office will behave as though freshly installed for this user (i.e. show the license and ask for registration).
