Bug Description
I have Ubuntu 8.04 fully configured for Russian language. When I check to install Open Office, it installs only English-language interface, although Russian language pack exists in the repository. It creates Gnome menu items in Russian, but when you start the programm, it's only in English, no Russian inteface, units, spellchecker. To install Russian language pack one should do non-intuitive thing: run Synaptic packet manager (but not 'Add-remove programs' applet), find Russian localization pack among about 100 other language packs and install it. I think some people even may decide that Open Office does not support Russian interface at all because there is no such option to set Russian language interface just after install in the OOo settings.
Confirmed. I have also marked as duplicate one bug that said the same with spanish localization.
In my opinion, this should be fixed for Intrepid final release.
