Hi,

it is indeed not easy to find any language pack that will change the
 user interface (UI) language of OpenOffice.org 3.

The http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Download_OpenOffice.org_LanguagePacks
 page only lists language packs for version OOo 2.3.1 unless they
just forgot to change the listed names  - but may they work in OOo 3,
too?

Not only that, the links on that page are incorrect (maybe that's why
it's so hard to find...). For example, the first language on the list
has the following url:

<http://oootranslation.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/extended/2.3.1rc1/OOo_2.3.1rc1_20071113_Win32Intel_langpack_af.exe>

Which relinks (via bouncer I think) to http://<mirror>/pub/openoffice/

You will then get a 'Error 404' because there is, of course, no 2.3.1rc1
directory at /pub/openoffice/extended/. The language packs are on the
server, but only if you use /extended/3.1.1rc2/ and it is now:
OOo_3.1.1rc2_20090820_Win32Intel_langpack_af.exe

/pub/openoffice/localized/ does not seem to be maintained well.
<anyversion>Win32Intel_langpack_af.exe is not listed, and the first
directory starts at /cs (and it's empty). However, the directories that
do have data in them seem OK. For example:

/pub/openoffice/localized/fr/3.1.1/OOo_3.1.1_Win32Intel_langpack_fr.exe

But that's probably an issue for (/localized v /extended) discussion
over on the release list.

As for
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Download_OpenOffice.org_LanguagePacks
Joost made a comment back in July stating the content is old:
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Download_OpenOffice.org_LanguagePacks&action=history>
But it doesn't look like anyone bothered to actually update the page
since then. It's actually quite a helpful page, and probably should be
maintained & then added to the http://download.openoffice.org/other.html
page. As least a short note + link to
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Download_OpenOffice.org_LanguagePacks
would resolve questions such as these.
Maybe a bug report would help?
