When emerging openoffice-1.0.3-r1, portage always selects Language "01" and outputs the following message: * **************************************************************** * Your language is not supported by OpenOffice, * falling back to default value !!! * **************************************************************** It does not matter whether I set LANGUAGE to "de" or "49". I even tried setting LANGUAGE to "01" and unsetting LANGUAGE altogether, but I still got the same message. N.B. LANGUAGE is set to "de_DE" in my system config. Is LANGUAGE even the right variable to use for this purpose?

Where is your other LANGUAGE variable set? What does "LANGUAGE=49 emerge openoffice" have as result?
Duplicate of bug 44209. Surprised a bug as long standing as this has not yet been fixed.
openoffice-1.1.3 is the current version and it works fine there
