But maybe, after my retirement in two months, I will start to work on a FR localization of their extensions. We'll see. I'm not especially a fan of Mathematics and Statistics, but perhaps with a little aspirine, I could digest " Modeller" ... ;-) I don't have more details about the EuroOffice for Android developpement. Maybe it's better to contact them directly if you will to learn more on this project. I know only that calc is now available, but I haven't tested it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hu.multiracio.euroofficecalc You might also (ahem) consider looking at Corinthia, which although is > quite different from Calligra and EuroOffice (the subject at hand), > nevertheless resonates with the pragmatic approach demonstrated by > EuroOffice.
