Yes, I know, that's why I'm asking, but perhaps I didn't ask the right
question let me rephrased it:

Given "out" way of building OOo is it possible to have a local patch
that will build OOo with whatever parts are localized so far and the
rest with the default (English) (without puting in an insane amount of
work that is) ? I'm somehow interested in this port because I plan to
migrate the desktops of one of my customers from windows to FreeBSD and
I know some of them would be much more comfortable with the
documentation (help, faq, etc.) in Romanian. The menus are not a big
problem as we tend to use non-localized software, but to some people,
especially the older ones, "computer English" is hard to read and I
don't plan having everyone from my company spending the next 10 years ;)
doing on-site support for office work.

I probably should RTFM a lot more before asking questions but I'm
working on a lot of ports for ports/romanian and I'm am not familiar
with many of them, unfortunately OOo being one: I don't do a lot of
office work and the last time I seriously worked with it was some years
ago ... and it was StarOffice (about the time OOo was at the begining),
and it was some scripting not package building, and from what I see the
where enough changes in the way the things work.

That I will, thank you.
