Hi, I looked into the section about locales in /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz The LANG=mylocale *almost* works, e.g. it interferes with gvim menubar language if one wants to retain the default language (e.g. English). However, the following works for me: it retains the menubar's languages but still allows openoffice.org to recognize the keyboard locale: export LC_ALL=C export LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 Maybe this detail should be included in the /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz AFAIAC, this issue is solved and can be closed.

Bug#384774: Request: system-wide locale setting for OpenOffice.org
Package: openoffice
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice to allow the system manager to specify which
locale to use for OpenOffice.org without having to do a LANG=
which would affect all other applications. Preferably, this setting
should also survive a package update.
The choice of LANG= is relevant for e.g. keyboard recognition.
Case in point: with $COUNTRY and $LANG unset, ooffice (vis. writer)
doesn't recognize the keyboard setting (doesn't check X?). However,
invoking ooffice with LANG=pt_PT ooffice allows the usage with the
specified keyboard locale.
IMHO, it would make sense to include some directive in a configuration
file in /etc/openoffice to allow the choice of locale for ooffice, e.g.
in /etc/openoffice/sofficerc. If in a Perl script, the following seems
to do the job:
$ENV{SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN} = pt_PT;

No, sofficerc is a completely wrong place for it. You haven't looked at
sofficerc, have you?

$ENV{SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN} = pt_PT;
That's broken. That is for using the VCLPLUGIN (gnome, kde, none) not
for the locale...

Sorry. It's openoffice.org, correct?

I see. It was just a suggestion, nothing more nothing less. I hope no one
was offended. :-)

OK, then how about a /etc/openoffice/openoffice.conf or something similar
which the /usr/bin/openoffice (ooo-wrapper) Perl script would interpret at
startup?
In case none of these are remotely satisfactory, are there other suggestions
in place?
Regards,
Joao
