Thanks for your help.  After looking into the link you provided me I put
verbatim what I saw into the .dmrc file.

So, first there is
LOCALE=es_AR.UTF-8 in .profile

then we set it in .dmrc with:
[Desktop]
Session=gnome
Language=es_AR.UTF-8

The first changes changed some menu items with the menu.  I didn't see
any change in Open Office after these two changes.  I opened up "About
the GNOME Desktop" and that is in Spanish.  Although setting these seem
to affect somethings.  I conclude that OpenOffice language hard coded
and set at compile time.  I am still hoping someone will prove me wrong.
 I will ask on the OpenOffice dev-list.

Regards,

Shawn Pringle
