Thanks for your reply, Javier. :) On 26/12/2006, at 7:00 PM, Javier SOLA wrote:
The other option is to do what other projects are forced to do (Khmer for example), create bi-lingual installers in which installation takes place in English and then the software runs in the localised language (and then you can switch between both languages).There is still an issue with this that we have not found yet anybody to solve. Once installation is finished, the locale of the application is English, not the local language locale. It has to be changed by hand (we have to do it in every single installation, and document it with every CD). The solution seems to be spoofing the computer's locale (making OOo believe that the local computer locale is the local language)... but the solution of the issue is not even scheduled.If you change the encoding in the Windows Installer, you will have to retranslate the installer strings using that encoding (in the po files you will see the ASCII equivalents, not real Vietnamese).
I don't think we have a valid solution, currently. We don't have the resources to redo anything. :(
