Hi, I just have prepared some debian computers for some people on a beginners level, and I found the following problem:
I installed openoffice with german help and l10n packages, but unfortunately, openoffice does not show a german user interface or german help even if german is selected in Tools/Options/LanguageSettings/Languages. I found that openoffice uses german help/user interface only if the environment variable LANG is set to de or de_DE . Unfortunately, KDE does not propagate the language selected by the user to the environment, and I do not want to set the LANG environment to the same value for all users. Do you know a good trick to have openoffice always use the language selected by the KDE environment? regards Hadmut
