    Lightbulb Guide how to change WPS Office for Linux(Kingsoft Office Chinese ver.) to English

    I love Kingsoft office application, and i'm using it on my office's win os computer and android because for my opinion, this office more compatible with ms office 2003/2007 than openoffice / libreoffice.

    Unfortunately, Kingoffice for linux (yes, Linux native, not Windows version with Wine! )only available for chinese version (called: WPS Office for Linux, beta version and only available for ubuntu (deb) rpm packages and tar when i'm writing this thread)

    Searching with google, finally we can change to english version (with easy steps):

    1. First of course we must download WPS office for ubuntu / debian from here and double click to install it.

    2. Open the application to make sure it works well on our ubuntu's laptop/pc (just what i did )

    3. Close the application

    4. Open terminal (ctrl + alt + t)

    5. Type:
    Code:
    cd /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/2052
    6 Type:
    Code:
    sudo rm qt.qm wps.qm wpp.qm et.qm
    Now, open the application again, and thank's God... the UI changes to english version

    (Tested with ubuntu 11.04, and make sure this application works well on your ubuntu before you follow this steps)

    Thank you

    Cool Re: Guide how to change WPS Office for Linux(Kingsoft Office Chinese ver.) to English

    Thanks! This works really well!

    Just one thing... In your WPS, are you able to Insert>Equation or is the button also greyed out for you?

    Unfortunately, yes...
    Data Chart and Equation menu greyed out...
    Hmm... interesting...
    Ok, I will check Kingsoft office for win os if those menus (Data Chart and Equation) greyed out too or not...

    Update:
    Yes, in Kingsoft office for windows, equation menu available (not greyed out), but, not build-in (uses third party equation editor).

    Re: Guide how to change WPS Office for Linux(Kingsoft Office Chinese ver.) to English

    They are researching on it by using the third party equation editor to support the Linux version, and they got some problems right now.

    That response was posted by the developer Mr. jinchizhong of that company in 2013-3-15 19:00 .

    His Chinese answer to this problem can be found on webpage:'http://bbs.wps.cn/thread-22361606-1-1.html'

    If u guys have some ideas to make it possible, u can post it to me, i can send it to them to make this software much more better.

    Also u may find it could not show the equation correctly. This is because of the font copyright.

    U can install mtextra.ttf symbol.ttf webdings.ttf wingding.ttf wingding2.ttf wingding3.ttf to solve this problem.

    The latest version can be downloaded from http://community.wps.cn/download/.

    By the way, this software is very famous in China (it can be traced to late 1980s), based on their developing log, they have used Qt to redesign the GUI since 2010.They used GDI before.

    I'm just a user.

    I've installed WPS 8.1.0 in Ubuntu 12.10, 32bit and 64bit. It only install Writer only, and Presentation and Spreadsheet fail to install.
    Could someone advise how to resolve? Thanks.
