Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO Bete 3.3: Strange wiggly lines when viewing a file.

Hi Maurice,

did you download the language pack for en-GB? If not, you could download and
install it. You'll find it here:
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta3/rpm/x86/LibO_3.3.0_Linux_x86_langpack-rpm_en-GB.tar.gz

So it could then use the British English you're used to. :)

I remember one remark from André Schnabel on the German users list, that
Language Tool complains about missing articles. So it could be just
something like this.
