Openoffice in german or english?

[Klaus Knopper <knopper@linuxtag.org>]

Hi everyone,

Currently, openoffice is present in english language on the download
version of KNOPPIX. Some people requet that we put the existing german
release 641b-de on the CD. Unfortunately, as of this writing, openoffice
cannot support multiple languages, i.e. each version has to be
recompiled with the desired language given in the Makefile(s).
Hopefully LOCALE-Support is on the way, though.

Are there any objections to switching over to the german version of
OpenOffice on the full-featured  public version of the CD? Most other
programs run in the language specified by the "lang=xx" boot-option,
openoffice is probably the only exception for the moment. Is anybody
really using it from CD, btw?

Regards
		-Klaus
