Gentlemen,
As I've read in your website (www.stardivision.com), StarOffice 5.0 will be
available for 8 languages by the date of release, and for 24 languages by the
end of 1999.
I would like to know if Greek (aka Hellenic) is one of these. If Greek support
is not planned, then maybe HELLUG (Hellenic Linux Users Group) might be
interested in translating StarOffice 5.0 for Linux in Greek.

Hellug is not yet an official Linux User Group (but it will be by the end of
October 1998). For the time being it has 23 members (the founders), and we
expect that number to approach 100 by the end of the year. Linux is gaining
field in Greece, and StarOffice is gaining field among Greek Linux users, and I
think that a localised version of StarOffice 5.0 would be of interest to both
Hellug and you. Hellug would do that for free, as long as it affects only the
Linux version. If the localization procedure is OS independent, Hellug would
greatly appreciate a donation. 

As Hellug is not official and doesn't have a board yet, I technically speak for
myself and only. Please cc your answer to hellug at argeas.argos.hol.gr
