Re: [libreoffice-users] problem downloading LibreOffice 3.4.4
Hi :) Ouch! Could you download the Japanese version again (preferably using the bit-torrent method) or use the md5sum check to see if the download went wrong 1st time? If there is something very wrong with the Japanese translations would it be possible to pick another language for the short-term and then have another look at the Japanese in a month or so? I think it's fairly easy to write documents in a different language from the UI (drop-down menu's and such).

Re: [libreoffice-users] problem downloading LibreOffice 3.4.4
To download and install English LibreOffice and the Japanese language pack, go to: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ Go down to the green drop boxes and make sure you see/choose Windows in one and the Japanese language in the other. If there is any problems doing that, go down farther and choose Other way to download . . .. Then choose 3.4.4, then Windows. Click on the Helppacks to go down to the Japanese one. Here are the direct links, to the Windows download and the the help pack . [if I got the language code correct] http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.4/win/x86/LibO_3.4.4_Win_x86_install_multi.exe (ja - ???) http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.4/win/x86/LibO_3.4.4_Win_x86_helppack_ja.exe The question of gibberish: Could there be some font issues where there is not default English system font and the English text is written in using the Japanese glyphs that are in the font instead of the English letters? I do not know enough about the Japanese fonts, but I did see one or two that did just that, though most of the fonts I use for foreign languages are Unicode so the Japanese fonts are somewhere else.
