help! ive been using knoppix all year, and my open office was in english all that time and now for some reason its in german!!!!




kinda hard to fix when i dont ever know german ffs :/


does anyone know how to get it back to english?!

[CrashedAgain]

are you installed to HD? easiest way to insure Openoffice is English is to remove the German-English version (apt-get remove openoffice* ) & replace it with the standard version but you can only do this if installed to HD. Don't know if there is a .deb for Openoffice, go to the OpenOffice site, download their package & use the installer that comes with it.
Bonus: you then get full set of help files which I don't think are include with Knoppix for space reasons.

but it was already in english, why do i have to reinstall it?

I'm going to assume you have a persistant home directory, otherwise simply restart. Maybe try fooling around in the home directory? *Sgeo has no better suggestion, although there probably is one, like which file, or changing a setting within OpenOffice
