UI localisation can (and should) be bundled with the core oo package. It's not just about having the UI and spellchecking match the user primary langage. It's about being able to spellcheck a secundary langage too. This is where MS office is terrible BTW - locating a version in a given langage is easy, locating one that can spellcheck another one is almost impossible (french office with russian spelling, portuguese one with greek/arab spellchecker and so on). There is actually quite a lot of value in independent spelling/hyphenation/etc bundles. People can live (badly) with an UI in a foreign langage, they can not perfectly spellcheck their own langage without help (let alone a foreign langage). Cheers, -- Nicolas Mailhot
