But that might be wrong in some situations. Plus that I don not understand what really is the cause of this. Any ideas? What do you see under Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages?: Languege of User interface do you see Dutch or Dutch (Netherlands)? Nederlands(NL). If the first, then it is a general OOo issue. If the second, something may be wrong in your configuration. First look at the node, something like node oor:name=L10N prop oor:name=ooLocale oor:type=xs:string valueen-US/value /prop /node I had a look there already yesterday before posting. And it only has nl Is this also wrong ( ooLocale is nl and not nl-NL?)? I'm not sure if that is wrong - see mail Bernard Marcelly. If so, try removing the Setup.xcu in the user layer ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Setup.xcu (and may be also the cache in ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/cache/org.openoffice.Setup.dat), I don't know if the value is taken from a localized Setup.xcu in the shared layer, or OOo sets this at installation on the user layer; at least, the default installation (/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Setup.xcu) has the L10N node empty; don't have a localized version to check, but in yours: is the L10N node empty? if not, ooLocale is nl or nl-NL? Yes I know the setup.xcu. And that shows only nl as well. I'll try later to start with a fress setup. But the question came up, since for the StringResourceWithLocation (see mail on d...@extensions, 16-1-09 (1) ) I need to give a Locale as argument. Plus that I see that the files with the strings, indeed are named DialogStrings_nl_NL.properties and DialogStrings_fr_FR.properties I did not check yet if StringResourceWithLocation does allow for an Locale with only a value for the country. But definitely there is a routine somewhere, that makes it possible for 'locales' nl and fr to be used to find the above mentioned files.

Hi Bernard, Bernard Marcelly wrote (1-2-2009 8:36) A Locale is primarily a language (the first part, lower case). This language may or not be specialised for a particular country (the second part, upper case). The language of your installation depends on the langpack it uses. The Locale is indicated in the file names of the installation package. You can see in the mirror servers that exists: en-US, fr, de, nl But not fr-FR, not fr-BE, not nl-NL. This simply means that there is no country variant langpack available in OpenOffice. In the langpacks for 3.0.1RC2 however I can see en-US, en-GB, en-ZA (i.e. english variant of South-Africa). I did not think yet at the link with the names of the packages. Sounds quite logic :-) Thanks Cor -- Cor Nouws-nl.OpenOffice.org marketing contact = 2008: The Year of 3 = www.nieuwsteoffice.nl = - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@api.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@api.openoffice.org

I passed xx_YY when I started to create a fall back in my own piece of code ... but the fall back already is there: Service StringResourceWithLocation has the property DefaultLocale.
