M Henri: Thank you for your candor as stated below. Hopefully, we as a community, can put together a comprehensive document so that we can include more languages into those supported by the OpenOffice.org community. Maybe you could do a How-To to install the SCIM so that others can work from that point? If this is available on-line the starting point could be pointing to that location and we could work from there.
