Hello,

as far as I know, lang packs do not contain dictionaries for the
language of the GUI to be installed.

Yet OOo is saying for beta version there will be only langpacks to
test with the English full build. So obviously OOo developers think:
 English full build + langpack for language XY = full build build for
XY language.
That would be logical, every user downloading a lang pack expects just
that. But ...

That is not so. Testers/users need to add the dictionary. Where do
they get it from? Does the lang-pack install program warn user about
it, does it offer any links? And that is not even mentioned clearly in
the official installation guide for 3.x.

I know there was some issue in IZ asking for inclusion of dictionaries
into the lang packs but obviously this has not been done. Can't find
it now.

Until then for testing languages only full builds for those languages
are appropriate. After installing the lang pack you still have a not
fully functional non-English OOo.

Lp, m.
