All of OpenOffice is installed by default from the official Ubuntu CD
and DVD.  If something was missing, I'd blame the remix that magazine
made.  The official disks allow you to choose your language at install

Administration -> Language Support.

By the way, this isn't a support list.  This is for developers to
discuss the next version.  Next time, please ask on
ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com
