Hi René,

Thanks for your response.

| Of course, that locale probably is generated and so it can be used.

| What does you locale -a output sax?

  $ locale -a
  C
  POSIX
  en_US.utf8
  ja_JP
  ja_JP.eucjp
  ja_JP.ujis
  ja_JP.utf8
  japanese
  japanese.euc

Why does OOo thinks I use en_US ?  Where does OOo gets the idea that I
use it?  I don't.  Or, at least, I don't think I do.

By the way, I also found the following:

  $ LANG=C ooffice
  I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"
  $ LANG=POSIX ooffice
  I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"
  $ LANG=ja_JP ooffice
  $

Why does OOo insists on "en_US" when told to use "C" or "POSIX"
while it obeys "ja_JP".

Cheers,
Ryo
