From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: There is a hungarian localization project of the OOo at http://office.fsf.hu and with RedHat 8.0's openoffice-1.0.1 it (the at that time current res-046-01.tar.gz, the 46th build of the localization) worked because the resource files used *64101.res names and they overwrote the en_US files. The current resource files are now using *64136.res file names. They can be found at: http://office.fsf.hu/work/res-1.0.2-fsfhu-20030403.tar.bz2 or http://office.fsf.hu/work/res-1.0.3-fsfhu-20030427.tar.bz2 The splash screen now uses the modified bitmap that has "FSF.hu magyar verzi�o" signature in it but the menus are not hungarian. The full hungarian openoffice downloadable from http://office.fsf.hu/work/oo-1.0.2-fsfhu-20030403.tar.bz2 or http://office.fsf.hu/work/oo-1.0.3-fsfhu-20030427.tar seem to work and they contain *64136.res files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. copy the *64136.res files into /usr/lib/openoffice/program/resource 2. start any program of openoffice with LANG=hu_HU.utf8 Actual Results: The menus are still english. Expected Results: The menus should be hungarian because of the LANG setting. Additional info: If the *64136.res files are renamed to *64101.res the menus are now hungarian but it is not a clean solution.
It is solved by editing ~/.openoffice/user/config/registry/instance/org/openoffice/Setup.xml by hand so the "ooLocale" property line reads as follows: <ooLocale cfg:type="string">hu-HU</ooLocale> But it should follow the LANG setting from the environment.
Please try current OOo 1.1.0, and reopen if problem still occurs
