HOWTO: Install OpenOffice Localized
So you want to install openoffice(or maybe openoffice-ximian, this howto should work for both, just change the name where necessary)
so open konsole/xterm/whatever... then 'su' to root and type
Code:
emerge openoffice

if it works, you're done reading, if not you would get an ugly code saying
Code:
* ****************************************************************
* It is important to note that OpenOffice.org is a very fragile
* build when it comes to CFLAGS. A number of flags have already
* been filtered out. If you experience difficulty merging this
* package and use agressive CFLAGS, lower the CFLAGS and try to
* merge again.
* ****************************************************************
* Unknown LANGUAGE setting!
*
* Known LANGUAGE settings are:
* ENUS | PORT | RUSS | GREEK | DTCH | FREN | SPAN | FINN | CAT | ITAL |
* CZECH | SLOVAK | DAN | SWED | POL | GER | PORTBR | THAI | ESTONIAN |
* JAPN | KOREAN | CHINSIM | CHINTRAD | TURK | HINDI | ARAB | HEBREW
!!! ERROR: app-office/openoffice-XXX failed.
!!! Function set_languages, Line 194, Exitcode 0
!!! (no error message)

suppose we want to install openoffice in italian(borchisuggested that 'more languages are supported but those listed in ebuild' so if you want to experiment theoretically you should manually hack the ebuild...)
we would do an
Code:
LANGUAGE=ITAL emerge openoffice
FontHow
if it didn't work keep on reading
ok so let's take a look at what is actually $LANGUAGE set to
Code:
echo $LANGUAGE

then
Code:
export LANGUAGE='ITAL'

(notice there is no $ in front of language)
and one more time let's look at our variable
Code:
echo $LANGUAGE

it said ITAL? ok let's try to

Code:
emerge openoffice

and it still gives us the same error, you would say WHY? everyone just says to set the language variable...
well don't worry i found a fix we just type this
Hindi
Code:
env-update

now just run
Code:
emerge openoffice
and wait until it compiles
that's it , if it doesn't work, then i guess your only way to install it would be to hack the .ebuild which is in /usr/portage/app-office/openoffice/name_of_ebuild.ebuild
------------------------------------[NOTES]------------------------------------
you need A LOT of free space, at least more than 1 GB... i don't know how much exactly...
I've been having some font problems in OpenOffice so i read
http://www.openoffice.org/FAQs/fontguide.html, THE thing that solved the problems was that i checked(as in clicked/set to on) the 'do NOT use anti-alias' for fonts smaller than 8 pixels(don't know how the option is called exactly in english...)
P.S. you might want to check the bug report for this ebuild if you are having problems, though i know you're too lazy to do that :p
Enjoy
