Openoffice.org in spanish??


Hi... I installed openoffice.org from the Mandrake 10.1 community disc, and for some reason, all the menus and such are in Spanish for some reason. Is there a way of changing the language from the app's preferences, or do I need to install an English version from somewhere? Thanks much for any help...

Try to change it from:
Tools-->Options-->Language Settings-->Languages-->User interface
Depending of your locale settings the drop down menu should contain "Default" and perhaps English. Choose English and restart OO.
If that does not work then you can either install the English language pack from your distro's site (something like openoffice-en) or from here
If nothing works then you have to reinstall the whole OO
