Description of problem:
When I create a new document and try to use a template or look at 
samples, I get no choices. This seems to be because for my locale 
(en_GB.UTF8) OpenOffice constructs a directory name "english_uk", 
which doesn't exist. Symlinking english_uk to english in the 
Templates and Samples directories makes the US examples and templates 
visible.

The "right" solution depends on your views, but it's clearly easy to 
make things work better than at present.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.0-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new document and select "Template" in an en_GB locale. 

Actual Results:  The template list is empty

Expected Results:  There should be some templates
