In that case it should also work but it did not. But - are regional settings the right way to go? A Frenchwoman living in Moscow will have Russian regional settings (because she lives there and it is more practical for her that way), but she wants French LO installed... > Having a language selection window that you suggest is a good idea > IMHO (not for 3.3 though).

The l10n teams (more or less knowing the habits/culture and representing non-English users) were wondering about the changed concept of online help on Windows and this multi-culti installer. This was a too big change to introduce with LO33, as I already wrote, it was not communicated with L10N teams etc. But my skepticism did not stop it. So it happened, but I (and probably other L10N-ers) expected that it will be done properly - so that builds can still be fully localized. Now we are stuck in the middle and we hear: there is no time to fix this for 3.3. Well, there was no time to introduce/design/implement/test this huge change for 3.3 in the first place. You can't rush a production of a car and say, we cannot fix this new security belt, hey, its not a biggie, don't panic... There are two possibilities: - the changes for Windows for online help are rolled back and there will be an English build with international langpacks (or international full builds); - the implementation goes forward until it is bug-free: installer allows UI language selection *and* online help from a localized LO UI is localized, i.e. Hungarian LO UI with F1 opens Hungarian contextual help in the LO help-wiki (I cannot test this with my install, RC2 with Slovenian helppack was reinstalled with RC3, which still uses the RC2 help, although I did not install localized help for RC3 - how do you uninstall help? This might be a bug as well - many things are not polished with these helppacks); And there is even a third possibility: - LO33 is published as English only and/as a technology preview for other languages. This way we can test if this online help decision was right or not and the community can vote.
