This works fine (as long as you install the corresponding lang packs).

You may also want to run OOo with several GUIs in parallel. To do that you
have to create a different user setting directory for each of the language
and run the program with the switch -userinstallation=[path to the user
profile]
For example you can create a directory on the C: drive called OOoFR which
will be the directory for the user settings when you launch the French GUI

Run
soffice -userinstallation=c:\OOoFR\
configure the GUI in French as explained by Dotan
Close OOo (including the quickstart) and run again the above command.
Do the same for the other languages (create a user settings folder, launch
the program, change the GUI, close the program)

Note that all the customizations you have made (colours, macros, templates)
are not imported as each user profile is independent from the others.

Cheers,

Michele
