Language packs, including French, are here:
http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html
I don't think any non-US English packs are available for 2.2 but the
differences will be small or even non-existent; the key thing is to get
the right dictionary for whichever species of English you need. Use the
Dictionary wizard - File>Wizards>Install new dictionaries - to do that
See the following e-mail thread from this list for details of how to
have a single installation of OOo with multiple user profiles allowing
each profile its own GUI language etc.:

Absolutely no idea why it's not more clear on the web site. I agree it is too
hidden inside remote sites. In the past, the language pack location used to
change a lot, it was a real pain to find them.
It's one of the many glitches of the Sun web site. [previous mail sent by error]
