I am not concerned that a LANG setting in my .bashrc would override what KDE does. That is expected. If, OTOH, I do not set LANG at all in my .bashrc, I am not overriding anything. If I set locale in KDE, and KDE starts a Konsole that starts a shell (both Konsole and the shell in it are children of KDE, so to speak), I would expect KDE to pass along the locale to to the programs it has started. Same for OpenOffice started from a KDE desktop ICON.
I'm not sure that you can set OOo to not use its own settings.
Like any proper Linux program, it uses the locale environment variables. I have verified this. If KDE would propagate them, it would all work like magic. There is no need to configure openOffice to get the menus and all in language X. I can't say how much further OO takes this into the documents you edit (spelling checks and paper size, for example). But the OO user interface correctly follows locale settings. Carlos E. R. (earlier in this thread) says that GNOME propagates the locale info. Not that this would carry much weight in KDE circles, I guess. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
