Re: How to set up multilingual OO
Hi again,
although this drives slightly out of topic for the debian-OOo list it
also touches the use of OOo and the installation setup.

After I wrote this I did some searches and found this link, where the
general problem is described quite well:

This was one year ago and I wonder if this problem is already solved.
