Forgive my ignorance concerning internatialization . . . .
At my university our Foreign Language department staff/faculty have traditionally used WordPerfect throughout the years, along with foreign language modules from WordPerfect Corp/Novell/Corel for creating German, French, etc documents and for spell-checking and the like. Now we come to learn that there is no German language module for Corel WordPerfect 2002 (and perhaps not other languages as well). How easy/hard/practical would it be to introduce Open Office for Windows to them and have that provide the features they need?

   Well, since they have to switch to something, OpenOffice (or
   StarOffice when the next version is released) would be as good as
any, and better than most.

I appreciate your response. Could any one give me any guidance as to how this is done? Do I use the standard OpenOffice (English version) that I already have and just do something with locales or with kbd or something? Or do I download a special German version of OO? If the latter, does that mean the faculty will have to keep three or four instances of OO running at any one time? One for English, one for German, one for French, etc? Sorry I'm so ignorant of working with different languages.

Thanks!

Kent
