Hi Alexandro, Just for your information, after Ubuntu switched to LibreOffice, the Valencian Government started using the LibreOffice ca-valencia translation we're responsible for. At the moment, there was a big issue related to the name to be used for the language. Happily, this is not an issue anymore.
