Language Pack for Libreoffice problem

[pixtun]

Hello.

Has someone had a problem while installing an additional language pack for Libreoffice on Knoppix, while using Synaptics Package Manager?

My problem is, when I'm trying to install for example, the Spanish translation for Libreoffice, Synaptics requires to "Uninstall" some things and update others,
while is actually, uninstalling the whole Libreoffice suite. But the language pack install succesfully, but it leaves me broken packages of Libreoffice that are unable
to repair.

Note: I have Knoppix 7.4.2 installed on a Kingston DT SE9 32GB, with persistent image

Please note i have re-installed the whole system 5 times and the same error continues. Please avoid telling that the persistent image is corrupt, Knoppix installation is
corrupt, since it has fresh untouched settings or your system is obsolete.

Spanish translation for LibreofficeWhat is the exact name of this tool you've found within Synaptic?

Normally you don't need Synaptic to install additional tools for LibreOffice. Have a look for example at this website (http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/languagetool) and especially at this PDF. (http://www.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/EN_Documents/Installingextensions.pdf)

Sorry about the long time since thread was with no activity

Werner, you can find it like "libreoffice-l10n-es" under Synaptics, this is the official LibreOffice Spanish Translation Pack, it translates al the programs GUI text in the language anyone desires. Im not trying to install extensions, since that is another subject. Have tried again with no succes, instead, it needs to uninstall LibreOffice, and install the LP, .....strange.:confused:

SOLVED Thanks Superman. Credits to him.The key is NOT DEPENDING FROM SYNAPICS INSTALLER.1.- First identifie your LibreOffice build. Knoppix 7.4.2 is 4.3.2.2, for Debian Wheezy / Stable (Keep this in mind)2.- Download your LibreOffice Language pack of your choice from this page https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/localization/ (This is Debian's package source for every Debian-based build like Knoppix)3.- After you download it , right click on the .debs package and open it with GDebi Package Installer4.- GDebi will recognize the package showing "all dependencies are satisfactory"5.- Press install button6.- Once installed, close, and enjoy LibreOffice in your language.Note: This is not for installing a dictionary for correction. This is to change the GUI's language. Thanks to everyone and use Linux.
