OpenOffice Need l10n for en-au en-nz otherwise UI translations are wrong

[Aaron Whitehouse]

On a default Dapper Beta install, the Openoffice.org user interface and locale settings (Tools > Options > Languages > Language of:) are "default". This seems logical but that default is not correct.

For example: all the buttons in the toolbars and the alignment settings under paragraph refer to "Center" for text. This is US English. In New Zealand we use real (Great British) English ;).

I don't know if the best solution is to change the "default" that OOo is looking at, or change OOo directly. For your reference, I have now manually changed the settings so that:

User Interface: English (UK)
Locale: English (New Zealand)
The second automatically sets the correct currency.

Please contact me with any questions or clarifications.

This is still the case in Dapper Final.

I cant confirm for NZ as such, but its the same for en_AU, so i suspect its teh same deal we have.

[KarlGoetz (kgoetz)]

Feisty has 'english (australia)' as default option. i suggest you try it too. unfortunately feisty doesnt carry dictionaries, so you have a correct locale, but cant check your spelling anyway.

also, it looks like it defaults to en_us for UI anyway, so although it looks 'fixed', its verymuch not :)

Needs upstream fixing. No upstream bug yet => Incomplete

see https://translations.documentfoundation.org/ and http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Translation_for_3.4 for how to get involved.
