Ah, thanks for the analysis. I would suspect something is going
wrong here:
# Create Linguistic.xml if don't exists
if [ ! -e $LINGFILE.$OLDLOCALE ] ; then
# get a default one, and change en-US to OLDLOCALE inside. I
guess this is a noop, but I'm not sure
sed "s/>en-US</>$OLDLOCALE</" \

/usr/lib/openoffice/share/config/registry/instance/org/openoffice/Office/Linguistic.xml
\

fi
Try adding this line below the if [ !e .. line:
echo `basename $LINGFILE`.$OLDLOCALE not found
Linguistic.xml.en-US not found
Which of LC_ALL, LANG, or other should I provide to you?
LC_ALL is empty and LANG is set to fr_FR.ISO-8859-1
and see if that is printed every time.
Also, you could add a 'set -x' at the top and post the output - that
way we
could see how it is behaving.

I finally got the time to pinpoint the problem and found a way to
circumvent it.
The problem is the name of the locale.
I saw recently that someone made a (rather ugly) patch to support the
"@euro" in the locale name to the script (/usr/bin/openoffice).
I made an uglier one to support some locale variant. In Belgium, we use
(among other) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Even using fr_FR doesn't solve the problem.
Remembering a thread on this list a long time ago about OOo dealing only
with locales names like "fr-FR" and not "fr_FR" like most other free
software, I found out that forcing $LOCALE to "fr-FR" instead of "fr_FR"
worked and tried again with "nl-NL" instead of "nl_NL" with the same
success.
My hack basicly takes the first two chars of the string $LANG and if
"fr" puts "fr-FR" in $LOCALE, and does the same for "nl" with "nl-NL".
And it works successfully.
I don't know, though, if this could be extended to other locales. I
think "de" would not work like this due to variants to locales.
