StarOffice Learns a Few More Languages

Posted on by John Yunker

Sun says that it localize its StarOffice software suite into five additional languages over the next year, which will include Russian, Polish and Dutch. The software is currently available in 11 languages.

StarOffice costs a great deal less than Microsoft’s Office suite, which makes it particularly appealing in an emerging market like Russia. While Microsoft’s Office suite is available more languages than StarOffice, the gap is narrowing.
