Ok, this is nice but what about the user interface, I've seen that the are several languages for OpenOffice.org Debian packages, so that may be a solution if it fits your environment (i.e. if you are running unstable (I think it also runs on testing with few extra packages from unstable), however I haven't tried them and I don't know about if you can configure the language for each individual user. Does anyone know about this? Greetings, jorge -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
