------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Sep 17 02:05:49 -0700 2005 ------- Languages that are not supported by Windows can not have a native installer in their own language. To avoid this problem, installers for these languages are made bi-lingual with English. Installation takes place in English, but User interface language and CLT language (if necessary) are in the target language. Nevertheless, the locale choosen by OpenOffice is the locale of the computer in which the installation is taking place (to simplify). As in our case the target language is not supported by Windows, the locale chosen by OpenOffice is never the locale of the user interface, and therefore not the one that the user wants or needs. Desired behaviour is that when the language of the OOo interface is not supported by Windows (as is the case of 15 localisation projects), then the locale by default should also be the language of the user interface (target language). Not having the correct locale for default means that all installations for these languages need to be reconfigured after installation (and for each new user of a computer). This not only produces many many hours of extra work, but requires that installation instruction be given to all those who will perform installation, as it is not longer just running the installer, it requires that documentation be distributed with the installer. Solving this in 2.0 would save hundreds of hours of work for OOo communities in the 15 countries affected by this problem, and simplify distribution.
