Unbelievable! India is a very big market, I should think - unless you have
several locales, and they don't know which to choose. They should look at
a language instead, as Hindi, like Linux did. I really don't know, you are
the other side of the world for me ;-)

But I suppose that in the options menu of OOo you can set the locale for
OOo at pleasure. That's what I do: my Linux locale is set to "US", but in
OpenOffice Options menu I set it to "Spanish (Spain)" instead of default.
You have more liberty this way: OOo follows the system default, or you can
set it to ignore it.
