------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 17 00:05:13 +0000 2007 ------- I have done some experimenting, starting off with the modified global Linguistic.xcu from my previous post. 1. I removed the global file: The UI Default Language setting was reset to US english, I lost my AU dictionaries, and I could *not* save a changed Default Language setting. The global file was not recreated when OOo was restarted. 2. I then removed the user file: The UI Default Language remained as US english, I regained my AU dictionaries, and I was able to save a changed Default Language setting. The local file was recreated when OOo was restarted 3. I then restored the global file (with its "DefaultLocale" entry changed to "en-US" for testing): The UI default language remained as AU english, my AU dictionaries remained installed, and I was able to save a changed Default Language setting. @ bentley: I think your solution might be to remove both the global & user Linguistic.xcu files, let OOo refresh its settings, and then update any settings you need. This should reset the user file so that next time you only have to remove the global file as has been stated in other comments on this topic. @ hagar_de_lest: I am not a developer so I don't know how this is all supposed to work. However in practice, installing dictionaries (certainly with the "Administrator setup" option) seems to update both the dictionary.lst file and the global Linguistic.xcu file but not the user file(s). But the OOo UI only updates the user file, which is overridden by the global one and in turn overrides the dictionary file - which may be why there is all this trouble. Hope this helps, James. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
