Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-marketing] how many languages can LO support at the same time. . .

Hi :)
For the 2nd point.
It's fairly easy to guess which menu is the Tools menu, and "Options"
is at the bottom.  Then it's a bit tricky to figure which page but
once you do get to the drop-downs to select language En(Us) is written
in the 'foreign' language but has brackets giving a clue, such as (US)
after the English ones

At first i didn't notice that so i had to have 2 machines open, 1 in
English, so i could figure out how to navigate to the right place.
Regards from
Tom :)
