Japanese OpenOffice menus [solved]

[Guest xuan]

Wassup everyone.

 

I'm painfully new to mandrake (and linux in general, and even this forum so I hope I'm putting this in the right place), and I'm having a little problem. I've been trying to get a japanese input system going like I had on that other OS, and so I was following the instructions given to me by a friend, which was a hybrid of these two pages:

 

http://www.h4.dion.ne.jp/~apricots/mandrake/miniguide.html,

http://www.h4.dion.ne.jp/~apricots/scim-an....3.1/howto.html

 

Anyway, the jerk abandoned me in my time of need; I have the input system working, but at first, I couldn't type japanese in OpenOffice. Then, he came back, did something, and now I can type in Office, but all the menus are in japanese, which is a brutal hindrance.

 

Does anyone know how to solve this? Tasukete kudasai.

Uninstall the package OpenOffice.org-I10n-ja

You can add later the japanese spellers and dictionaries, if you wish.

Or try this command:

 

$ oowriter --lang=en

Thanks 'crow and Zero0w. Both ways worked.
