I downloaded the OOo 2.0beta for OS/X X11 in English. I ran the install and noticed the entire app is in French, I think. Does anyone have the correct English version link? In the meantime I'm using NeoOffice/J which works, but I'd like the new features & fixes from 2.0. Currently NeoOffice is still based on the 1.1 branch.

Where did you get the OOo 2.0 beta for MacOSX/X11?
I have several sources, but I don't want to give you the same place you downloaded from.
Well, I saw that repository and it's clear that that version is in french: the file name is OOo1.9.125_Tiger_fr.pkg.zip. That fr after Tiger means frech.

And this is Maho NAKATA's ftp/build site. Maho has been very active in the MacOSX/FreeBSD porting effort for OOo 2.0 Beta. His builds are different from Eric's as he uses code that has not been offically through the OpenOffice QA process.
All of these sites offer OpenOffice 2.0 beta (SRC680_m130) in English. Maho builds for a bunch of languages.
One person left out of the equation is Pavel Janik. He works on the OOo 2.0 and OOo 1.1.5 ports to Czech/Slovakian. His web site is at ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/1.1.5/ for the 1.1.5 builds. At present, I could not find an OOo 2.0 beta build for MacOSX, although if you are willing to do your own build, the files are on this web site to allow you to 'roll your own.'
Good luck and happy hunting. If you have feedback on any of the builds, please joing the dev@porting.openoffice.org mailing list and post your comments to this forum.
Moved this topic to the "Testing" forum where it belongs, since we're not dealing with a final, released version
Note there's a sticky thread at the top of this (OOo Testing) forum that lists sources for OOo 1.9.xxx development builds for test. I try to keep the sticky updated, but I don't have time to go looking daily. On some of the servers, files change quite often (stardiv and macosxrc.services.oo.o), so one build might work on one OS version in one language, but the one that replaces it may not. Caveat lector
Pavel and Maho keep a wide selection of builds around (when Pavel does a Mac OS X build) and often include separate builds for various languages. If you don't see otherwise, it's safe to assume the build runs in English, but if you see another language code (de, fr, jp, nl, etc.) then it'll be for that language instead.
