A pretty new change to the OpenOffice-ebuilds is the usage of LINGUAS. Currently it does not work very well for me. In the most localization-guides I have found LINGUAS has been set to a value equal to sv_SE or sv_SE.UTF-8 for me to get Swedish. However currently this two choices gives me an errormessage saing this values is unsupported. The only one working for me is just plain "LINGUAS=sv" and nothing else. If I've got a wrongfully setted LINGUAS I would be happy to be pointed to a place where I could find accurate resources. The needed information: OpenOffice-Ximian-1.3.8 /etc/env.d/02locale #Non-working values LINGUAS="sv_SE.UTF-8" LINGUAS="sv_SE" #The only working value LINGUAS="sv"
You muddle LANG and LINGUAS. LINGUAS doesn't deal with encodings or languages/idioms, which are not supported by a package. Unfortunately there is no all-embracing i18n/l10n solution yet. -> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml -> `man locale`
