[libreoffice-l10n] Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Video Tutorial Link in Help

Hi :)
There are some video tutorials at;
http://spoken-tutorial.org/

They cover many different OpenSource programs so if you scroll down
the first drop-down you will see quite a few done for LibreOffice.
The 2nd drop-down allows people to change to a lot of different
languages, although no European ones apart from English.  English
seems to be their starting language which they then get translated
into the many other languages they offer.

Regards from
Tom :)
