We have now prepared a test build of the Burmese Language OpenOffice.org. We welcome testers to use it. We would like to receive comments and feedback from users, before getting the Burmese Language patch & locale accepted into the official OpenOffice.org version. Please subscribe and send your comments, bug reports and language feature requests to dev @ my.openoffice.org. The builds are licensed under GNU LGPL v.2.1.
The font for the menus and dialogs is set in Windows by right clicking
on the Desktop, choose Properties, Appearance, Advanced and set the
Menu and Message Box font to a Myanmar Unicode font conformant to
Unicode 5.1 (Padauk,
Myanmar3,
Parabaik, etc).
Unicode 5.1 compliant Burmese Language Input myWin2.2
is available
now.
For
more details about configuring Burmese OpenOffice please see Readme
for OOo-my.
Please help us with translation at OO Burmese Translation.
The Burmese Language version of OpenOffice.org and Language Patch can
be
downloaded at: (All the builds need JRE
to be installed at your computer).
The OpenOffice 3.1 development builds have support for Myanmar dictionary based line breaking and can have a Burmese spell checker dictionary extension installed. After installing the main OpenOffice.org, download my-MMDict.oxt to enable the dictionary (Use Tools->Extension Manager->Add if it doesn't install automatically).
We will prepare JRE embeded builds later on. We will also add more mirror sites.
Currently the only builds are for Ubuntu. You should be able to install it alongside the normal OpenOffice. You may need to create a shortcut manually to /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice
