Japanese version of OOo doesn't have it's Help translated to Japanese

Hi guys, Just read a review of the Japanese version of OOo at : http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/article/2002/06/17/openoffice.html and it says that the Help system is still in English for them. Sounds like we need our translation teams to work on the Help system too. :-/ Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
This is dependant on the XML Version of the help system. Currently, we can't touch the online help content.
The help system is already localized in Japanese on OpenOffice.org1.0.1 for Windows. But, on the same version for Linux, strangely enough, the help system is still in English. For Japaenese help system build, follow steps below, ----- cd ${SRC_ROOT}/helpcontent/unx wget http://sf1.mirror.openoffice.org/miscellaneous/helpcontent/helpcontent_81_wnt.zip unzip helpcontent_81_wnt.zip mkdir common/japanese unzip -d common/japanese shared81.zip mkdir swriter/japanese unzip -d swriter/japanese swriter81.zip mkdir scalc/japanese unzip -d scalc/japanese scalc81.zip mkdir schart/japanese unzip -d schart/japanese schart81.zip mkdir sbasic/japanese unzip -d sbasic/japanese sbasic81.zip mkdir smath/japanese unzip -d smath/japanese smath81.zip mkdir simpress/japanese unzip -d simpress/japanese simpress81.zip mkdir sdraw/japanese unzip -d sdraw/japanese sdraw81.zip ----- Although the Japanese helpcontent file is named helpcontent_81_wnt.zip, it is not problem to use for Linux build. So you must extract it, re-archive the extracted files as helpcontent_81_unx.tgz and upload to http://sf1.mirror.openoffice.org/miscellaneous/helpcontent/. Furthermore, these issues result from troublesome manual works for build. So, localized helpcontents must be containted in any source. Now, you should add them to CVS repository.
Hi, Clift This is Maho(ja native lang project owner) Thank you very much for reading japanese page. I'm very appriciated that you are interested in Japanese. Howerver, infomation on Madono-mori is often false(!) so I do not trust what they say :-) http://www.forest.impress.co.jp/article/2002/06/17/openoffice.html Howerver, it is true for UNIX version. In my work for FreeBSD's port, extract helpcontent before building for every native language port. See: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=41688 Well, helpcontent is already l10n'ed for some OOos, howerver we have to employ `trick' http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/build_linux.html#BuildingLocalised Is it possible for you to fix this? 1. prepare helpcontent_81_unx.tgz(it is easy to estabilished just extract win version and re-do targz', it is ok, and I do not see any reason why there's no helpcontent_81_unx.tgz but others exist) 2. Requires such file when someone build OOo, for each native version supporting l10n'ed help. Thanks.
OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 is alredy uploaded in http://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/stable/1.0.2/. And I confirmed OpenOffice.org_1_0_2 tag in CVS repositry. Remember to put Japanese helpcontent in helpcotent/unx/ for Japanese Linux build at the moment. Anyway, it is the best to add localized helpcontent in CVS repositry. This problem must be resolved as soon as possible. It's not difficult to do that. Best Regards,
Hi Justin. Many Japanes Linux users are waiting this contents. Best Regards,
It should be stopper bug for 1.0.2.

hi all! I am linux user in Japan. I can not belive. why only linux version help is not Japanse? when i heard "windows version help was Japanese ", I thought They want to not use by Japanese linux users. I hope a help to become Japanese immediately.
Hi,ALL I am Linux user in Japan. OpenOffice.org is wonderful software. However, there is a partly regrettable thing. It is also one of the big reasons that a help is not Japanese. when I heard "windows version help was Japanese ", I thought They want to not use by Japanese linux users. I hope a help to become Japanese immediately.
reassigning to owner of installation
Frank, AFAIK there are differences between the Windows and the UNix version. If we have no Unix specific Version, can we use the Windows file and convert as described above?
That should work, but you will miss some Unix specific parts, like spadmin. Why is the Unix help missing? I never heard of that problem before.
Frank will provide the help files to Martin. You will find them soon at http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/helpcontent/ as described in http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/build_linux.html
upload is complete now.
