Thanks for the instructions below. I wondered what the "best" way to do it for Linux [Ubuntu 10.10]. Most people I deal with for multi languages use Windows, and that is easy[er].

hello cevad, We had a similar problem when we were installing LibreOffice 3.3 on linux. We work in English, Dutch, German and French. We found that the following method worked for us. 1. We installed a base system using the English GB option. This means that the menus and default dictionaries, local settings and so forth are in British English. (We are Europeans. You can choose any available language as the base system.) So we downloaded and installed: 1.the basic US tar.gz file 2.the en-GB language pack tar.gz file 3. the en-GB help pack tar.gz file as instructed by the 'Installing LibreOffice 3.3 on Linux' documentation. Then to install the other three languages dictionaries and local settings for numbers, dates and so forth we installed ONLY the 'dict' binary from within each language pack. We followed the method described below. (We use SuSE and Debian distributions here. For the Debian and its derivative distributions substitute 'deb' for 'rpm' and 'DEB' for 'RPM' in the examples below.) 1. Download ONLY the langpacks for the languages and local settings you require. 2. Open a terminal as root. 3. Copy the downloaded language pack(s) to your choice of installation directory. For example to install the German dictionaries and local settings: cd /opt cp /home/kd/Downloads/LibO_3.3.2_Linux_x86-64_langpack-rpm_de.tar.gz . 4. Unpack the language pack(s) tar -xvf LibO_3.3.2_Linux_x86-64_langpack-rpm_de.tar.gz . 5. Change to the directory LibO... cd LibO_3.3.2rc2_Linux_x86-64_langpack-rpm_de/ 6. Then cd to either the RPM subdirectory or in the case of a debian distribution to the DEB subdirectory. cd RPM 7. List the files within and look for the 'dict' binary in the list. Then 'rpm' or 'dpkg' this file only. rpm -Uvh libreoffice3-dict-de-DE-3.3.2-202.x86_64.rpm<in the case of the SuSE distribution.> 8. Repeat the steps 1 to 8 for any other languages and settings you wish to install. Launch LibreOffice and open the 'Tools'|'Options...">'Language Settings>'Languages'. You should now be able to set the Local setting to your prefered location. For example: Germany (Germany) You should also now be able to set your language setting for the documents to you choice of language. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libre-Office-localization-for-multinational-work-environment-tp2740979p2753332.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
