But you didn't look in README.Debian... Language support ================ You can get foreign language support by installing the openoffice.org-l10n-<lang> package for your language. You will also need the 'locales' package installed. The user interface language is selected according to your locale(1) settings. To change the user interface language for all users, run dpkg-reconfigure locales To change the language for just one user, you must arrange for the LC_MESSAGES or LANG environment variable to be set. You can list all available locales with the command 'locale -a'. For example, to run OpenOffice in German from the command line: LANG=de_DE openoffice Chris
