[libreoffice-users] Re: Libre Office localization for multinational work environment

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.
