Would you be willing to download/install 3.3.4 from
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?
I do not use the repository version, and I use Ubuntu 64bit 10.04. You
would need to install in via the terminal, but
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux/ will walk you
through this. No need to uninstall anything either.
I wonder if adding the language packs could help you? You will need to
go to 3.3.4, unless someone has archived the "nl - Nederlands" pack for
3.3.3. I do not understand Asian characters, so I do not know if there
is a Mandarin language pack listed.
You could also try this Dutch dictionary and see it it works.

As for the characters showing in LibreOffice - I am taking a guess here
- could it be something to do with the default font you are using for
LO's Calc? Format > Character should place you to the dialog to set
your default font. I would make sure your font is set for the same one
you use in the other applications. As someone who has worked with
collecting fonts [over 100,000 of them over the years] I find that many
do not have some of the non-English characters that are common in other
languages. I would make sure you use a good Unicode font [like Arial
Unicode] and see if the problem goes away.

This is about the Ubuntu repository version of LibO running under Ubuntu 11.04
linux. The repository version is described as follows:
LibreOffice 3.3.3
OOO 330m 19 (Build:301)
LibreOffice 3.3.3.1 Ubuntu package 1.3.3.3ubuntu2
I have been testing Gnucash on linux, and in particular the ability to export
data to an html file and read that into other programs, specifically
LibreOffice Calc. The whole process went excellently with one small exception:
the translation of the Swedish characters, å, ä and ö (and of course the
capitals, Å, Ä and Ö which I have not tested).
Instead of seeing each of the three letters, in each case I saw two characters,
Ã￥, for example instead of å. I checked the three characters in a hex editor,
and found the following:
å was represented by C3A5 in other applications, but as C383C2A5 in LibO
ä was represented by C3A4 in other applications, but as C383C2A4 in LibO
ö was represented by C3B6 in other applications, but as C383C2B6 in LibO
I checked the original data in Gnucash, the intermediary form in the html file
and the contents of content.xml in LibO. The first two had the short form,
LibO had the second form.
I have also checked the same information in Windows, although I have not yet
used a hex editor in Windows. Both Excel and LibO Calc imported the data
correctly, or rather, displayed it correctly.
Before I report this as a bug, I'd like to be sure it's not something I'm
missing in my configuration. All programs are set to use UTF-8, insofar as one
can set it in the program rather than in the operating system.
A late thought occurs to me. I use LibO Writer for writing Mandarin and have
set 'Enabled for Asian languages' under Languages. Can this have affected the
way LibO translates the non-English characters? Although LibO has actually
_added_ two bytes to the characters.
