I have found a solution though I don't think it's perfect...
This is what I did:
1- Create a file called /etc/env.d/99ooffice
2- In that file, write
if you are using a french canadian keyboard
if you are using a french (France) keyboard
3- Reboot
The only problem with this solution is that your entire environment will now be in french. For example, I use Gnome and now all my menus and various apps are now in french. I don't like this (I would rather keep them in english) but at least OpenOffice now recognizes 2 key accents.

Bloody Bastard : do u have to do that everytime? I would like to be able to choose openoffice from the menu and be able to use my keyboard without having to open console everytime...
I did find a better solution than the one I posted earlier though...
I went right in the /usr/bin/oowriter script and added
This way, the rest of my gnome environment stays in english but OpenOffice works in french.
Maybe there is an even better way but this works for me

so someone posted this thread to my bug, and it would all be very 'easy' if openoffice worked that way, but it don't...emerge it with the language you use...period...
right now we don't support multiple langs, becuase portage is bunk, and blah blah blah
i can't fix this bug b/c your setup is such that you want a number of languages...exporting LANG=blah is the best bet...*I* can't choose to use openoffice for you...you have to choose how to use it...

Hi Seth,
To me, this seems like a pretty important feature, but it should be a bug fixed (or a feature added) by the openoffice guys; not you. Here is my point :
- You can install multiple dictionaries
- You can switch from 1 dictionary to another for different documents
So then, why is it that accents aren't available in that language? because everything depends on a VAR called LANG which can't be changed during your openoffice session?? That is definetely limiting. I need to write documents both in english and in french. I should be able to do that quite easily by changing dictionaries. These dictionary changes should be the target for language and not the "LANG" var.
again, I don't think this is your bug to fix, but it is really annoying to me.
Thanks for your great work seth, I know it isnt easy

P.S when you say, just emerge it in your language, how would I go about doing that ? downloading from openoffice.org and putting it in distfiles? |

You may as well make a script and a gnome launcher for it. That way you'll have oo issue resolved.

Also, if you use LC_CTYPE instead of LANG you'll only change keys, not all menu language (like in gnome for example)
I use to launch some apps:
| Code: |
env LC_CTYPE=es_ES swriter
|
or
| Code: |
export LC_CTYPE=es_ES
Eterm
|
whatever suits you.

To be able to write in swedish I have to use | Code: | | env LC_ALL="sv_SE" xoo[something] |
to just use LC_CTYPE will generate | Code: | env LC_CTYPE="sv_SE" xoowriter
I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "en_US.utf-8" |
. The problem is that if I do change it to LC_ALL I can't se the directory names correct  . I'm using gnome 2.6 with utf8 and my locale look like | Code: | LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.utf-8 |

And five minutes after I have posted a problem I have been working on for a day or so (all in all) I find a solution! 
All i had to do was to change LC_ALL from to
Well, you set me on the right track - thanks for that!

I solved the problem remerging glibc without the "userlocales" USE flag, so it intalled all locales and it worked fine for me.
I hope it helps |

|
|
| Code: | | export LANG=fr_CA && xoowrite |
This solution did not work for me. Trying to reemerge glibc... Note, /etc/locales.build define locales to be compiled in glibc. Do we need to customize this file ?
