Welcome to the Malaysian native-lang project, where we aim to promote the internationalisations that are relevant to Malaysia as well as support them. We are primarily interested in the Bahasa Malaysia, Tamil, Mandarin and English versions of OpenOffice.org.

MIMOS Berhad. has kindly provided a pre-release version of OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 in Malay. If you have tried it, please fill out the survey.

Of interest to us are the following:

Projek Singa Emas - A site to localise OOo into the Bahasa Melayu language. There are User Interface (UI) Message translations, along with a Glossary of common terms used within OOo. Be warned that you need to sign-up for an account (its free), before the resources are viewable.
Projek OpenOffice L10N ms_MY - Download this resource by Bustamam Harun, and install it. Follow the instructions (currently in Malay), and your Linux-based OpenOffice.org will work. Its current to 1.0.3.

Dictionaries

Bahasa Malaysia Word List
A resource from AsiaOSC in accordance with Mimos. This is a wordlist of the common BM words, that can be used as part of the spell checking library.
Malay (Malaysia) Dictionary - read the release notes
This is the AsiaOSC resource, except that it fits with OOo just nicely!
