I see this site claims "By default, AbiWord Portable is set to English (US)." - but isn't what I see - I just downloaded it for the first time (from here) and started it and the language is not English (its the machine default)

Then the text goes on:
"To change to another langauge, start AbiWord Portable as normal. From the main menu, select Tools and then Preferences."

Ok... but then

"Then click the Language tab."

Except there is NO Language tab....

Any suggestions on how to get it to start and stay English?

Many have noticed the new update checker in the latest Sumatra version.
Patrick provided a link where the author says that he will try to make it disable-able in a future version.

He also says that it only checks for updates every 24 hours so maybe the launcher could update the preferences file till he includes it himself...

I chose Chinese(PRC)in the option of set language but i still can't type simplified Chinese in AbiWord.
Anyone who can give some help?
Many thanks!

Do the addons work like "normal" for portable. I'm trying to add the providers addon for syncing google calander. but it doesn't just go into the sunbird addon download menu it asks me the normal download options with a file. and i don't know what to do with the file next.
How do i get this addon on.

Hi

I run native Sunbird on a mixture of Macs and Linux boxes at work, and I'd really like to use the portable Sunbird on Windows too. I share my profile on the Mac and Linux versions using symbolic links pointing to my data on a flash drive. I don't know enough about Windows to get the portable Sunbird to also refer to this single folder. Could anyone let me know if this is possible, and if so, how?

Many thanks.

There was an update going in my pendrive but after several minutes nothing
happened, after cancelling the application I can not open the sunbird
planner anymore.

Could anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks

After creating an event, I double click it then select to edit "This occurrence only". Then, I edit the description and click on "Save and Close". But when I go back to the event, the description hasn't been saved. I have this problem whenever a window asking to edit all occurrences or this occurrence only appears. Is this an issue with the software or an issue with my Sunbird Portable?

Hi,

I just updated from Sunbird 0.2 to 0.8, and suddenly the hour periods are much taller than before. Now only 9 hours fits on the screen, where my entire day fit before. I don't want to have to do a lot of scrolling, but would prefer to have my entire day/week on screen at once. Is there any possibility to decrease the hour height in the day/week view?

The following directory contains an uninstaller ("mangler" is more like it) that removes some of the Sunbird app, but leaves a mess behind. Could we possibly get this removed from future releases as it's not needed?

..\SunbirdPortable\App\sunbird\uninstall

Somehow the portable version should look for the fonts on the flash drive or the host computer. It now looks at the host computer for the windows font file, if I have used fonts that are not on the host then I have a problem with display of the fonts.

And yes I know the fix is to use the default fonts on standard windows install.
