Hi Sandor

As a long time successful user of Star Office, OpenOffice, and now settled on LibreOffice in Windows and Linux, I am saddened to hear your bad luck with the installation. Version 4.1.0.4 is the stable version so it should not (not for me anyway) give any language issues with it's install.

Firstly make sure that you have downloaded the correct language base file and it's assistant. Go to the download page here http://www.libreoffice.org/download and then just below the green bars "Main Installer" and "LibreOffice built-in help" click on the link "Not the version you wanted? Change the language". On this next page go down the list, left column until you see the one "English (GB)" and click on it. A page will show with your two needed files and the correct language you are looking for. Click in the green bars mentioned to download your files.

What you can do is install it the same way you did, with just the apps you want i.e. the Calc and Draw as per your previous install. To make sure your language is the one you need open Calc, and go to the menu bar "Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages". On the right you can set the "User Interface" "Locale setting" to English UK, and your "Default Currency" as well if you so choose, You would also need to change you "Date acceptance patterns" as well for your language and country pattern, Date month Year etc.

That should sort you out and give a better experience with LO. If you need furhter help and assistance, please reply. I can send you screenshots of what I am referring to as well, as I live in South Africa, and have set mine to work perfectly with my country locale and language settings.

Regards

Andrew Brown

To Whom it May Concern,
I've installed the latest version of Libre Office to my PC. Version
4.1.04.
I selected only calc and draw programs to be installed, along with
language English (UK) only.
Doing that the program wouldn't run after successful installation.
After the failure I uninstalled it and I could see only invalid
characters in the uninstall dialogue box.
I think unselecting the language English (US) or English (South Africa
?) was a mistake but I was able to do it and it is wrong.
If the language is essential for the application to run it shouldn't be
an option to install.
I also find very hard to find this email address on your website. I bit
frustrating....
Needless to say, the program is off the PC and not going back for a
while.
Good luck next time.
