Peter,

You'll be surprised to know that I can't seem to type French with my Japanese qwerty keyboard, whatever localized version of OOo I try, in whatever local I launch X11 (I am on MacOSX).

I am sorry I can't help you. But be sure that you are not alone. The worst is that you don't have to do _anything_ on OSX to have native support for the languages I need and you need. I am not sure the situation is the same for Windows (it seems not). But basically, the conclusion I reached is that OpenOffice is not the best choice for multilingual users (at least, multilingual in slightly exotic environment). It is a little disapointing.

I want to write and to open documents in different languages, among them in Russian (Cyrilic alphabet).


It's mostly a matter of what the OS allows/provides.

I'm using Ubuntu,and I can change keyboard layouts very easily, even to such languages as Kyrgyz or Uzbek (yes, I've even fooled around with it a bit).

When I have the keyboard layout set for Russian, for instance, it becomes a Russian keyboard, which means that I have to do most maneuvering by mouse, since the keyboard is then sending a signal that isn't recognized as Alt-S or whatever.

I don't think the problem can be blamed on OpenOffice.
