Description Puggan SE 2015-01-16 20:05:27 UTC
Libreoffice have a feuture that always converts lowercase "i" to upper case "I" in english text.

But when I try to write a swedish dockument, and using the swedish word "i", i want it to stay lower case.

If I use the Menu->Tools->Language->All Text->Swedish, I don't want the English autoconversions.

I have my system language set to english, and installed the english version of Libbreoffice, and added the swedish spellcheck.
(got the feling that computer installed in swedish, don't have this bug)

Hi Puggan,

Looks like we have Swedish help- and lang-packs:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.qa/6237

What happens when you install those and enable them? Do you still have the same auto-correct problem?

Status -> NEEDINFO

(Please change status back to UNCONFIRMED after you reply. thanks!)

In gentoo there is a packaged called "app-office/libreoffice-l10n", where you can select what languages you want to support, my installation is configured to install for: "en en_GB sv"

The link you gave me, refers to the file:
LibreOffice_4.2.0.2_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_sv.tar.gz

The ebuild instruction referens to:
LibreOffice_${MY_PV}_Linux_x86_rpm_helppack_${lang2/_/-}.tar.gz
and
LibreOffice_${MY_PV}_Linux_x86_rpm_langpack_${lang/_/-}.tar.gz

but it only installs the helppack if you switch on the setting named "offlinehelp", with the description "Install help files locally instead of using the LibreOffice Wiki".

Switching on "offlinehelp" solved it.

So I see 3 options here:
1. This is a gentoo bug, and it should install the parts needed for swedish dokuments, even when the "offlinehelp" is off.
2. The parts needed should be in langpack, insted of being in helppack.
3. LO should never make upercase I on unknown languages.

I belive in number 3, but i guess its up to the developers to decide, if you say it's number 1, I make a bug report at gentoo too.
