Open Office language switch following HD installation

**DeepCreek** · 11-05-2004, 02:13 AM

Hi everyone. I just installed Knoppix on my hard drive and really enjoy it. However, I see that Open Office has switched from english to german in the process. I've tried looking to see how to switch it back, but being new to Linux, I'm afraid I can't seem to get there. Can anyone point me in the direction of a configuration file and any steps to bring the Office suite back to english. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

Uninstall the OpenOffice that comes with your cd (apt-get remove openoffice-de-en).

Download version you want from http://www.openoffice.org and install it.

Thanks Mark. That solved my problem. I'm really impressed by both the Knoppix installation and the wealth of knowledge available. I hope once I get to know my way around Linux a bit better, I'll be able to help others too. Thanks again for the very prompt reply.
