[ja-discuss] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] LibreLogo localization

Hi,

LibreLogo in 4.0.1 will support Asian and CTL languages, depending
from the language of the user interface, and (Western, Asian, CTL)
languages of the document. You have to change the Western language of
the document/paragraph to [None], if the user interface of LibreOffice
is in this Western language, for example, to test Japanese Logo
commands in LibreOffice with English UI. (See
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61376, where I have
attached a simple Japanese test file with these language settings.)

Best regards,
László
