Hi!

I've installed LibreOffice with the english help pack because it is not
available for my language. Is there a way to activate offline english
help without changing the language of the interface? The interface is
translated.

Thanks.

You could try finding the folder containing the help files (C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4.0\help\ in my Windows Vista installation). That should contain a folder corresponding to the language of help you installed (probably en-US, but may be en-GB if you installed UK English help). Try copying that folder, and name the copy to match your language code (if you're not sure what that is, let us know what your interface language is and we might be able to figure it out).

I don't really know how well this will actually work. Of course, where the help mentions which buttons to click or options to select, it will use the English names. Context-sensitive help may or may not work correctly. e.g. if you have the Format > Character dialog open, pressing F1 usually takes you straight to help on that dialog, but that might not work if the languages don't match - or it might work just fine, the easiest way to know is to try it.

If you ever uninstall the help pack, you'd need to delete the extra copy of the folder you created yourself.

Mark.
