What's special about chromium 32? Why not just use chromium 34?

Anyway, if you really have to downgrade, use pacman to reinstall the older version, and downgrade any required dependencies also. Do not symlink libs like that, it leads to chaos.

Re: How can i use chromium32 ,not chromium33/34?

may I ask why would you want to use outdated version of the browser? How exactly did you downgrade chromium? with pacman -U from the pkg cache?
Anyway, you're getting that error because chromium 32 was linked against icu-52 and you have icu-53.1. Solution would be recompiling chromium32 (from ABS for example) against icu-53.1

EDIT. or you could just downgrade icu as tomk mentioned.

$ pkgfile libicuuc.so.52
testing/libreoffice-common
extra/libreoffice-common

Ummm ...?

ABS doesn't have the old versions of PKGBUILDs, use https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … a4d1e06f33
