I am running on Ubuntu 20 04. I have LibreOffice 6.4.4.2 installed and trying to switch its user interface to Czech language.

I have installed the package libreoffice-l10n-cs and restarted LibreOffice.

When I click on Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages, "User Interface" is set to "Default - English (USA)". When I expand the select, "Czech" is not listed in the options.

There are other questions about language support in LibreOffice on Ask Ubuntu, like

how to change LibreOffice UI's language?

Marathi localization does not activate at start-up for libre office

but they did not help me to switch Libre Office to Czech.

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE

The commands suggested by N0rbert produce the following output:

$ which lowriter

$ dpkg -l | grep libreoffice

    How did you installed libreoffice? Please add output of which lowriter, dpkg -l | grep -i libreoffice, snap list | grep -i libreoffice, flatpak list | grep -i libreoffice to the question.

  • I installed minimal installation of Ubuntu, i.e. without LibreOffice. Then I installed LibreOffice from "Ubuntu Software" application and finally added cs package using apt: sudo apt install libreoffice-l10n-cs In fact, I supposed that Ubuntu Software is just user interface that uses apt internally. ...and maybe this is not true.

At first you have to remove Snap version of libreoffice with

snap remove libreoffice

then install LibreOffice from deb-packages with

sudo apt-get install libreoffice

and then installing full set of localization with

sudo apt-get install $(check-language-support -l cs)

should help.

  • I have tried just the command: check-language-support -l cs And its output is empty.

    See updated answer, start with removing Snap'ed version of LibreOffice with snap remove libreoffice and then install deb-package with sudo apt-get install libreoffice. Then localization should become available.

  • Nice answer, @N0rbert. Do you know if that snap bug has been reported? Jun 14, 2020 at 9:29
  • @GunnarHjalmarsson I do not know. But I suspect that other snap'ed apps with extensions/plugins/addons may be affected with same nature.

  • @N0rbert: I would be surprised if this kind of issue is present for e.g. the FF or Chromium snap. But there is unfortunately a general tendency to publish snaps in an experimental stage. Jun 14, 2020 at 15:26
