Package: openoffice
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice to allow the system manager to specify which
locale to use for OpenOffice.org without having to do a LANG=
which would affect all other applications. Preferably, this setting
should also survive a package update.
The choice of LANG= is relevant for e.g. keyboard recognition.
Case in point: with $COUNTRY and $LANG unset, ooffice (vis. writer)
doesn't recognize the keyboard setting (doesn't check X?). However,
invoking ooffice with "LANG=pt_PT ooffice" allows the usage with the
specified keyboard locale.
IMHO, it would make sense to include some directive in a configuration
file in /etc/openoffice to allow the choice of locale for ooffice, e.g.
in /etc/openoffice/sofficerc. If in a Perl script, the following seems
to do the job:
$ENV{SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN} = "pt_PT";

Well, it's part of locale setting, so, but I'll think about it.

Doing. Closing versioned with 2.2.0-2 as there is a config file now
sourced by soffice.sh.
