How to get Calc in French

  • 772

I am trying to get Libreoffice calc in French to get the French function names. I tried to install the language package but I think I don't have the right version. My version of Calc is 3.5. Tools - options - libreoffice doesn't offer online updates. Do I need to update Calc first or can I just somehow install the French version?

  1. To get localized function names in LibreOffice Calc, follow the 4 steps below:

    1. Open a terminal and type:

      sudo apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-fr

      It will install the French language package

    2. Set both User Interface and Locale settings to French (France):

    3. Ensure that the Use English function names checkbox is disabled:

    4. Finally restart LibreOffice to enable French function names.

  2. You can change LibreOffice's default language at the Options (Tools > Options) window. Expand the "Language Settings" menu and under "Language" set the language for both the user interface and the regional/locale settings (which influences the decimal separator, data format, etc.). Here's an example:
