OOo is evolving fast, specially in terms of multilanguage and
dictionaries. As for Brazilian Portuguese, we just finished translation
of the whole help. 

There's an oddity on pt-br: sun released a complete translation,
independent of the rest of community, and now we have two different
pt-br versions.

I thought you were talking about more resources on SO draw than on OOo
