Re: Open Office in a different language

Here is what it looks like. I have no idea. When I copy and paste something from it, it is in english.... So I dunno.
PS-If anyone can suggest a better way to show the picture, like thumbnail, please do.

Re: Open Office in a different language

could you do pacman -Q|grep openoffice please?
it seems like you are using openoffice in greek (im not sure)
btw, oo3 uses .openoffice.org3 directory for personal settings AFAIK.

remove all the packages about openoffice except "openoffice-base 3.0.0-2"

Re: Open Office in a different language

I'm not greek, but I think it is in english with a greek font since I can almost read the menu. For example, take the first menu entry it says file but using its greek letters (phi->F, I don't know the name for the I,Lambda->L, Epsilon -> E), maybe it's clearer in Edit.
But I don't know what can you do about it, since I don't know where could be the problem, but maybe it'll make you remember what did you do to it.

Re: Open Office in a different language

I didn't do anything. The last thing I tried to do was get JRE so I could use a spreadsheet, but it conflicted with something else.

Re: Open Office in a different language

Same Problem here. OpenOffice 3 uses a greek font in its menus, although the language is German, as it should be. Weird.
