Hello,
I downloaded the OPEN OFFICE software in French, but once it was installed, it is in English.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
Thank you in advance.

Go to this page: https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Make your choice:
- the version of the system,
- the language (English)
- and version 4.1.8 of OpenOffice
- and click on Download full installation.
It should work and I think it's the simplest option.


Indeed, it is possible to change your version from English to French by downloading/installing the language pack (Download language pack)



To install the language pack, quit OpenOffice > launch the language pack > Open OpenOffice > Quit and reopen.
But you will then need to install the French dictionary (https://extensions.openoffice.org/fr/node/17340)

Hello,

Uninstall the English version via the control panel.

OpenOffice can be downloaded from the official French website: http://www.openoffice.org/fr/Telecharger/

Thank you Trotte-menu for your response.
I downloaded the software from the official French site, but I am currently close to America and that might be why this software switched to English automatically?
I opened your link, but nothing indicates on the page how to change the language.
I looked in OPEN OFFICE, but "language" is inactive. I probably need to install a French language pack. But I don't know where to find this package or how to place it correctly afterwards.

I have to step out, but I will return later hoping to have a response.
Best regards.

@ Trotte-menu,
I think it's because I replied to your message and didn't comment.
