Re: [libreoffice-users] No offline help 4.2.0.0

Hi :)
Rebooting solves many problem and not just in Windows.  It's even
helped me in Gnu&Linux once or twice.

With the Windows version of LibreOffice you don't get the 3rd download
because that 3rd one is included in the main installer.  I think that
to change the UI in Windows go to
Tools - Options - Languages - "Language Settings"
and change the top box to whichever language.  In Gnu&Linux it only
offers the ones you have deliberately downloaded as the 3rd package
but in Windows you get the choice of all of them automatically.  For
Windows you can choose to download LibreOffice in any language but
then use the route i described to switch to any other language (well,
almost any language)

Have you tried asking on the L10n mailing list to see what they
suggest?  It sounds like they are more likely to have experience with
this sort of issue.  I thought they translate the online help and then
someone packages that for them?

Also i thought you have to have the UI in a language in order for
LibreOffice to offer that language in the in-built help?  So if you
have the UI set to English (US) then it will be looking for the en-us
help package, fail to find it locally and therefore jump online for
you.  Except that you do have the en-us one so i don't know why it's
not finding that :(  Anyway, try changing to the correct Norwegian one
(not the other Norwegian one! (there are 2 aren't there)) and then
hopefully the help should work
Regards from
Tom :)
