Change the language of Libre Office in Easy OS

Post by Maybe »

Hello!

I use Easy OS and enjoy it. Can you please tell me if it is possible to change the language of Libre Office in an easy way using the language pack from their official website?

I don't know. I only compiled it in OpenEmbedded to support English, French and German.

Extra lang packs must be available. I did a quick search with google:

There are some notes here:

You may need to copy/move the installed files to the place where your default (repo) LibreOffice is installed. For example, on Linux, the downloaded files are usually installed to /opt/libreoffice whereas the default (repository) installation of LibreOffice is in /usr/lib/libreoffice or /usr/lib64/libreoffice or /usr/share/libreoffice.

...in EasyOS, it is /usr/lib/libreoffice

@BarryK, @Maybe

I used my USB stick with EasyOS 3.4.4 US version and added the libreoffice German language pack to it.

After copying /opt/libreoffice7.1 files to /usr/lib/libreoffice libre was good to go for me.

3. Installed three .deb files
4. Copied all new files from folders and subfolders from /opt/libreoffice7.1 to /usr/lib/libreoffice
5. Started Libre Office Writer And voila!
