Firebird is an "experimental" option at present in 4.2. In other words, the user doesn't even get to see that there is the possibility to create an embedded firebird db unless they turn on the experimental options in LO's preferences. Assuming that someone foolhardy enough will do that, and then complain that it doesn't work as intended (which Robert, I, and others all know about as we filed/validated the bug reports), I still don't think it is worth concentrating our documentation efforts (including translation) on an embedded db engine which still has too many failings to be of any daily, practical, use. The aim of the tool is to be a replacement for embedded hsqldb and for the moment, this is simply not the case. Connecting to an external firebird db has worked for a while now anyway, certainly before 4.2 (at least with the jdbc or odbc driver, but again this is not part of the novelties included in 4.2.
