Hello,
i accidently installed the english version of OpenOffice - how can I
get the german version? Or can I just choose the language also?
Thanks a lot for advice,

It depends on what you want to do. If you are happy with English menus,
Help system etc. but want to write and spell check in German then just
install the German dictionary and make German your default language. To
do this go to File>Wizards>Install new dictionaries ... and choose
German. Then go to Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages and set
German as the default for your documents.
If you want German menus, Help etc. then I think you need to download
and install the German version from http://de.openoffice.org/. I think
it should install over the top of your English version but make sure
Quickstarter is not running before installing the German software. If
Quickstarter is running there will be an icon in the System Tray (I'm
assuming you are runing Windows). The icon is grey and has a picture of
two flying birds. Right click on this icon and choose "Exit".
