Apache OpenOffice 64 latest with language locale support

#1 Post by hikohan »

1. Get the latest DEB installer from official website:

ig:

https://www.openoffice.org/zh-tw/download/

Here I choose Linux 64bit Chinese Traditional deb 4.1.7 for my `XenialPup64 7.5`

2. move deb to loop mount user folder like /u

(1) extract tarball (tar zxf A*.tar.gz)
(2) change folder to DEBS in the $LANG/DEBS
(3) create a *.deb extract shell script

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
FILES=$(ls *.deb)
for VAR in $FILES
do
 dpkg-deb -x $VAR .
done
run it! extract all deb in a folder, that's all portable programs.

./DEBS/opt/openoffice4/program/

Move the program folder(./DEBS/opt/openoffice4/) to your ext3/ext4 loop mount folder. Create applications items for menu list or make it as SFS if you want.

Enjoy your Puppy Linux! :D

For XenialPup 64 7.5 add Chinese&Japanese IME support, take a visit to my blog:

thank you very much!

actually I use WPS (made in your country :wink: ) (*1 because the rendering of Tamil polices is not always ideal in the other OO like's...

but is an elephantic package (as *.sfs for buster pup 8.0 ab. 250 MB, full installed in the actual Deepin probably the double! In Deepin, LO needs ab. 750 MB. To write few rows of text in complex writing fonts, it is a lot of stuff! My problem is that Mozilla + http://inputking.com don't allow flexible changing of fonts and keyboard layouts but the fonts are terribly important for user with few experience in Far East language to recognize easily what is written :roll: . The google noto fonts are not the best for it because learning books use often very different fonts styles...)

what is the argumentation for Apache OO?

(note 1: the buster pup depository offers also a ready to use LO 6 *.sfs!
note 2: the buster pup depository offers a wps office *.sfs ALSO usuable in wary64 6.99 ab. = with quirky april 7.0 as far you don't need there the complexe writing! But you can use complexe writing in Wary64 6.99 in the build in old Seamonkey using http://inputking.com. Easy to do! Try it:
- download meera.ttf (is used in Debian or derivates...)
- create a /root/.fonts
- make a link of it ln -s /root/.font /root/fonts to work easily
- put your test fonts into it
- open inputking for Indian languages
- select "Tamil"
- and write the proposed example "vaNakkam" (= Hello ) at the food of the fonts using indications!

You have written with success "hello" in Tamil language!
Repeat it now the same way in Korean, Japanese or Chinese... or in French (hm, not difficult: "bonjour") or German (also not difficult, all chars are used also in English: "Guten Tag" or "Hallo")!

But the best Far East language is of course Indonesian... No special char, minimal grammatic :wink: and surprising easy ways to communicate with fun expressions (Indonesia did publish in the past the absolutely best Linux version I did ever meet with Kuliax 6.0 and perhaps until Kuliax 7. - Kuliax 8. did not reach any more so the ideal performances...)!

Chinese would also be a best language...
... if the Chinese people would really use their alphabetic writing of mandarin! I love it (sound, grammar, compactness etc.) but did abandon because of the terrible Chinese signs! I can write it no problem in inputking but not read (only if I print it out, scan and process through tesseract-OCR. It can't be the right way :lol: !)
