Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Can LibO be Customised to be Downloaded in a Native Language?

Hi :)
I think it's more accidental than disgraceful.  Obviously not everything is
ideal yet! but there is a strong feeling of communities and individuals
working together towards making things better and better.  Also when you
really think about what the alternatives do then it often is LO that is
better.

All teams (except maybe devs on Writer and Calc) are woefully tiny and yet
they keep on producing really great work.

I feel like i am only asking for a bit of icing on the cake, but then
English(US) is very close to English (UK) so being stuck in the wrong one
for a little while is barely noticeable.

Plus i think that Khagaroth and Micheal might have just solved my problem
in this area.  The question is whether it helps Elanjelian.

Good luck, thanks and regards from
Tom :)
