The OpenOffice.org Community is pleased to announce the addition of Japanese language support to its Users' Community Forum. This Web-based Community Forum brings experts and users together to provide support to users of OpenOffice.org, the free alternative to Microsoft Office. <A HREF="http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/06/prweb1015094.htm">The Forum is free to users and is free of advertisements.</A>

Since its launch six months ago, the Forum has greatly exceeded expectations, attracting a registered membership of nearly 13,000, Together, these members have generated a growing knowledge base of 90,000 postings. These include both answers to specific user questions, and user generated tutorials. Originally launched in English, the Forum added support for Hungarian in February, French in March, and now Japanese in June. Further languages are expected during the rest of 2008.
