@jani sounds like a lovely easy hack, what do you think? This is weird because I wrote some stuff for the README a long time ago, specifically for OSX installation (I remember that it went on the wiki at the time) - perhaps it never got integrated, or perhaps it got overwritten by mistake. Confirming also in the FR lang-pack README ** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug Bug still present in: LibreOfficeDev_6.3.0.0.beta2_MacOS_x86-64_langpack_en-GB.dmg ... which is the UK English language pack accompanying: Version: 6.3.0.0.beta2 Build ID: 6c6edded7133daf2d8d0b2ea7ae25b8109c5c064 CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI render: default; VCL: osx; Locale: en-US (en.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Here's the Linux-specific text in the README_en-GB file: Installation of LibreOfficeDev on Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For instructions on how to install a language pack (after having installed the US English version of LibreOfficeDev), please read the section below entitled Installing a Language Pack. When you unpack the downloaded archive, you will see that the contents have been decompressed into a sub-directory. Open a file manager window, and change directory to the one starting with "LibreOffice_", followed by the version number and some platform information. This directory contains a subdirectory called "DEBS". Change directory to the "DEBS" directory. Right-click within the directory and choose "Open in Terminal". A terminal window will open. From the command line of the terminal window, enter the following command (you will be prompted to enter your root user's password before the command will execute): The following commands will install LibreOffice and the desktop integration packages (you may just copy and paste them into the terminal screen rather than trying to type them): sudo dpkg -i *.deb The installation process is now completed, and you should have icons for all the LibreOfficeDev applications in your desktop's Applications/Office menu. Installation of LibreOfficeDev on Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva and other Linux systems using RPM packages ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For instructions on how to install a language pack (after having installed the US English version of LibreOfficeDev), please read the section below entitled Installing a Language Pack. When you unpack the downloaded archive, you will see that the contents have been decompressed into a sub-directory. Open a file manager window, and change directory to the one starting with "LibreOffice_", followed by the version number and some platform information. This directory contains a subdirectory called "RPMS". Change directory to the "RPMS" directory. Right-click within the directory and choose "Open in Terminal". A terminal window will open. From the command line of the terminal window, enter the following command (you will be prompted to enter your root user's password before the command will execute): For Fedora-based systems: su -c 'yum install *.rpm' For Mandriva-based systems: sudo urpmi *.rpm For other RPM-based systems (openSUSE, etc.): rpm -Uvh *.rpm The installation process is now completed, and you should have icons for all the LibreOfficeDev applications in your desktop's Applications/Office menu. Alternatively, you can use the 'install' script, located in the top-level directory of this archive to perform an installation as a user. The script will set up LibreOfficeDev to have its own profile for this installation, separated from your normal LibreOfficeDev profile. Note that this will not install the system integration parts such as desktop menu items and desktop MIME type registrations. Notes Concerning Desktop Integration for Linux Distributions Not Covered in the Above Installation Instructions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It should be easily possible to install LibreOfficeDev on other Linux distributions not specifically covered in these installation instructions. The main aspect for which differences might be encountered is desktop integration. The RPMS (or DEBS, respectively) directory also contains a package named libreoffice6.3-freedesktop-menus-6.3.0.1-1.noarch.rpm (or libreoffice6.3-debian-menus_6.3.0.1-1_all.deb, respectively, or similar). This is a package for all Linux distributions that support the Freedesktop.org specifications/recommendations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedesktop.org), and is provided for installation on other Linux distributions not covered in the aforementioned instructions. Installing a Language Pack ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Download the language pack for your desired language and platform. They are available from the same location as the main installation archive. From the Nautilus file manager, extract the downloaded archive into a directory (your desktop, for instance). Ensure that you have exited all LibreOfficeDev applications (including the QuickStarter, if it is started). Change directory to the directory in which you extracted your downloaded language pack. Now change directory to the directory that was created during the extraction process. For instance, for the French language pack for a 32-bit Debian/Ubuntu-based system, the directory is named LibreOffice_, plus some version information, plus Linux_x86_langpack-deb_fr. Now change directory to the directory that contains the packages to install. On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems, the directory will be DEBS. On Fedora, openSUSE or Mandriva systems, the directory will be RPMS. From the Nautilus file manager, right-click in the directory and choose the command "Open in terminal". In the terminal window you just opened, execute the command to install the language pack (with all of the commands below, you may be prompted to enter your root user's password): For Debian/Ubuntu-based systems: sudo dpkg -i *.deb For Fedora-based systems: su -c 'yum install *.rpm' For Mandriva-based systems: sudo urpmi *.rpm For other RPM-using systems (openSUSE, etc.): rpm -Uvh *.rpm Now start one of the LibreOfficeDev applications - Writer, for instance. Go to the Tools menu and choose Options. In the Options dialogue box, click on "Language Settings" and then click on "Languages". Dropdown the "User interface" list and select the language you just installed. If you want, do the same thing for the "Locale setting", the "Default currency", and the "Default languages for documents". After adjusting those settings, click on OK. The dialogue box will close, and you will see an information message telling you that your changes will only be activated after you exit LibreOfficeDev and start it again (remember to also exit the QuickStarter if it is started). The next time you start LibreOfficeDev, it will start in the language you just installed.
