Roy, I think your best bet would be to review: http://native-lang.openoffice.org/ [Mailing list contacts are at the bottom of the page] and http://l10n.openoffice.org/ http://l10n.openoffice.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList Those folks would have a better understanding of what is required. -- You have been cc'd on this reply as you have posted to an open OOo mailing list.
