I am looking for a package that will allow me to write both English and Chinese using Openoffice, but I am having trouble finding one. Chinese websites have downloads, but they do not say if the programmes are bilingual or only Chinese.
Does anyone know a good place to look?

Re: writing chinese with openoffice
You don't need a Chinese version to write Chinese in OpenOffice. If you want the choice of having the GUI in Chinese or English you will need to have English and Chinese Language packs installed. To write in Chinese you need a Chinese input method and have the correct settings under Tools>Options...>Language Settings. In particular you will want to have Enhanced Language Support enabled for Asian languages.
For a Chinese version go to:

But if you already have an English version installed you will just want to install the Chinese language pack.

The language packs are not quite easy to find:
Go to the extended mirrors list, then choose a mirror site near you, and then go to the folder ./extended/2.4.1rc2/.
