KDE & OpenOffice: Language settings

[dj_olsen]

KDE: where can i find a list with LINGUAS options? especially interested in the code for traditional chinese.

openoffice: (how) can i install more than one language? as far as i know from the forum i have to re-emerge openoffice to switch the language - but that will replace the old language version, doesn't it?

thanks.

I am also looking for a list, the best I can find is this:
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.3/src/kde-i18n
However, I would really like a nice explanation for each one. Additionally I see en and en_GB, but how about all the other languages which vary across regions ? Like Canadian, Swiss, Belgian French ? Or Argentinian, Chilean, Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Spanish ?

Thanks for any and all help, I am waiting patiently

Thanks for the link, however it isn't of much use for me.
Aside from not showing several known i18n packages equivalents (zh_*, hsb, nds, nb etc...) just to name a few, it also seems to ignore variations ie: en / en_GB. This would lead me to believe the kde packages are not using either of the ISO standards listed or perhaps a subset of one of those standards. In any case I am still without a list of kde i18n package options or LINGUAS options for them to be more accurate. I don't think they are all in that ftp folder is why I am asking. Does anyone else perhaps have a link which reflects KDE's naming scheme, showing all possible options ?

Cheers,

Thanks kLUMSY bOT !

Would you happen to have a similar link for KDE's i18n ? Your link helped a lot for my OO questions and KDE is the only one left I noticed that although they share some of the same they don't appear to share them all. This is of course not urgent I finally just guessed off the ftp link I first posted and am running those but would like a list so I can do it properly down the road.

Cheers,

The link I posted is the standard KDE i18n is using. So just look up your language and use it in the LINUGUAS env-var. If emerging fails, the translation doesn't exist, I guess.

The list does put chinese as "zh", but KDE splits it into zh_CN (simplified chinese) and zh_TW (traditional chinese). These are the LANGUAS Portage looks at when emerging kde-i18n.
