Doh!

I don’t know but I assume it’s a complete localization and should cover all features. It should also have full lang support.

I meant how good is it? Does the Irish version include support for all the OpenOffice features, and does it include full Irish language support?

You mean some sort of official support for the translation? Fuck all.
Most of Open Office, for example, has been translated by 1 man, who thankfully now has a few more lads on board to help. I think they are about 80% done, and in fact today I got a mail that the first builds in Irish have been released.
The same guy has also worked (with a larger team of volunteers) on Firefox & Thunderbird, no support of any kind there.
KDE/Linux was also done by a small number of volunteers.
The MS on the other hand was a different story. *I think* professional translators worked on that and it does seem to have had official support.

And then there is OpenOffice:

Is the Irish support any good?

[...] The official release was in June when the XP language pack was launched but the Office 2003 language pack has just now been released. [...]
