I recently upgraded to OpenOffice 3.0 (all our Windows PC's). In my school we teach mainly in French and Dutch (Belgium) so we need to change our UI of OpenOffice. I haven't tested this under Windows-it may work, but as far as I know, you would have to create a small batch file to set the environment variable. This is good for a temporary session only it does not change any settings. Other Linux distributions will probably use a different command name, unfortunately. The 'ooffice' 'command is correct for Fedora Linux.
Installing French language support for OOo under Fedora Linux is as simple as Code: Select all Expand view Collapse view $ yum install -langpack-frThis will automatically install the corresponding dictionary as well. You must have the language pack installed, as described above, or as packaged by your distribution if the specified language pack is not installed, OOo will start up in the default locale.Į.g. This can be very convenient for temporarily switching the UI language, rather than going through the Tools > Options menu, with the necessary re-starts. E.g.Ĭode: Select all Expand view Collapse view $ LANG=de_DE oofficewill start OOo with German as the UI & default document language.įrom a non-English locale, you could start a temporary English session with:Ĭode: Select all Expand view Collapse view $ LANG=en_US ooffice On Linux (or Unix) you can start a temporary OOo session in a different UI language by specifying the language on a command line. Especially if you want to communicate in the forum without any translation differences. Note that it's easier to install the en-US (default) version and then install your language pack.
Search for your language, one row is for the full installer and the second row is for the language pack.
Go to the download page (link bottom right of this page), there is a link that leads directly to the language packs (see Get all platforms, languages, language packs). Modify the language in the drop-down list, close OOo and the Quickstarter (in the system tray) if activated and start OOo again.
