We've had several requests for localised packages and dictionaries, but AFAIK, no-one has offered yet to work on these. So yes, we'd be grateful for more help with this. > My wife often use OO, and like it pretty much (she does not speak about > installing Win any more, yuhu). You made it further than me - it is only just beginning to dawn on mine that M$ may not be a nice as they first seem. :) > I'm pretty curious about how translations are handeled in OO.

I don't know the exact details, but I think they are moving towards something like gettext, but in 1.0 is it still handled differently. To build another language means adding language numebrs to the --use-lang option to configure, and a seperate installation set is built for each language specified. I saw a comment that only one directory is different for each language (<openoffice-root>/program/resource), but I haven't looked to see if that is true. I have made some notes in TODO.Debian in the package itself. Other resources are available at lang.openoffice.org. If you can, join us in #debian-oo on irc.openprojects.net, where we hang out quite a lot of the time. I will be away until Monday, so I'll answer any further questions then.
