Cannot turn off the online help

Hi,
I’ve downloaded the fresh version of LibreOffice v.4.2.5.2 tar files:
LibreOffice_4.2.5_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-GB.tar.gz
LibreOffice_4.2.5_Linux_x86-64_deb_langpack_en-GB.tar.gz
LibreOffice_4.2.5_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
(I do want the offline help)

Then I’ve installed LibreOffice_4.2.5_Linux_x86-64_deb, LibreOffice_4.2.5_Linux_x86-64_deb_langpack_en-GB, and LibreOffice_4.2.5_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-GB, without obvious errors.

However, when I try to invoke whatever help from the application, it starts my webbrowser.
WHY?

It’s strange as that installation procedure worked with my 4.2.4 version.
What’s wrong?

Regards,
hawran.diskuse

Refer the answer here. Given you are using the en-GB helppack the UI setting must also be set to en-GB for the offline help to work.

???
AFAIK there are only two packages language specific there:

  • langpack
  • helppack

What do you mean by “the UI setting must also be set to en-GB”, plese?

@hawran.diskuse Tools > Options… > LibreOffice > Language Settings > Languages > Language of section > set the User Interface option to use the same language as the downloaded offline helppack.

Yes, it seem to be working.
Thank you, oweng.
