Bug#248030: openoffice.org-debian-files: Setting and exporting LANG overrides LC_CTYPE and blocks Chinese Input Server
Package: openoffice.org-debian-files
Version: 1.1.2-2+1
Followup-For: Bug #248030
Hi,
In my system setup, I set LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.UTF-8 while leaving all
other locale related variables to default. This way I can use a Chinese
input server such as SCIM and FCITX to type in Chinese under X-Windows,
while still having an English user interface. However, this doesn't work
under OpenOffice where I cannot activate the input server even if I set
LC_CTYPE to zh_CN.UTF-8. I've found that the problem has been caused by
setting and exporting of LANG environment variable within the openoffice
script. The following patch fixes the problem for me:
--- openoffice.orig 2004-07-26 19:12:34.000000000 +0800
+++ openoffice 2004-07-26 19:12:07.000000000 +0800

## That's it. Launch the beast (with the given args)
##
-LANG=$LOCALE
-export LANG
+#LANG=$LOCALE
+#export LANG
exec "/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice" "$@"
## Changelog
Regards,
David Zhu
