WPS Office is a proprietary office suite with excellent support for Microsoft Office formats. WPS Office is a great alternative to MS Office Wps writer Russian language

More recently, I came across information about the office suite of Chinese developers - WPS Office... This package was previously called Kingsoft Office. After installation, I saw a clone of a "soft" product. Chinese programmers have done a great job.

Knowledgeable users on forums, social. networks and blogs write that compatibility with ms office 2010 and other versions is just excellent. You just need to install the desired fonts and the result will be great. There is support for PPT, DOC, DOCX, XLS XLSX formats, and can also save documents in PDF format.

From the information on the WPS Office website:

“Compatible with Fedora, CentOS, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Mint, Knoppix and many more
Supports 32-bit and 64-bit systems
Fully compatible with Microsoft Office
Spell checker in 10 languages
Supported by our open source community "

Includes a text editor Writer, a spreadsheet editor Spreadsheets and presentation creation in Presentation.

So let's start installing the program in Ubuntu. Go to the download page -. Download the .deb package, which should match the architecture of your system. After downloading, install through the Application Center or GDebi.

To Russify the program, go to Main Menu - Tools - Switch Language ... We choose the Russian language. The program will download the language pack and then you will need to restart the WPS Office.

To add a Russian dictionary for spellchecking, you need to download the archive:

Download the archive for the Ukrainian language:

In the file manager that opens, copy the ru_RU or uk_UA directory to the above folder. Now let's go to Main Menu - Service - Set Language ... Choose Russian Federation or Ukrainian - Set as default. On this, let me take my leave.

Does LibreOffice's interface look dull? MS Word documents open crookedly? The product of Chinese developers is in a hurry to help - WPS Office (Kingsoft Office), a clone of MS Office with maximum compatibility with the latter.

Package includes a word processor WPS Writer, WPS Presentation presentation software and spreadsheet editor WPS Spreadsheets... WPS Office is being developed for the following platforms: Linux, Windows, Android and iOS. There are both free and paid versions for Windows.

There is no official support for the Russian language in the WPS Office for PC yet, the translation of the Linux version is carried out by the efforts of the community (http://wps-community.org). Versions for mobile platforms have been translated into many languages, including Russian.

WPS Office supports formats MS Office 2007/2010/2013, but with OpenDocument Format, Unfortunately, not friendly... There is a built-in feature export documents in PDF and several interface options - both classic and identical to MS Office 2013.

Installation and configuration

We attach detailed instructions for installation and configuration WPS Office For example Linux Mint 17 Qiana (based on Ubuntu).

1. Download the WPS Office distribution kit from the community site and install it.

2. Install ttf fonts:

Sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

3. Most likely, these fonts will not be enough for the job. WPS Office itself, at startup, swears at missing fonts:

You can download the missing fonts here (http://allshrift.ru) or here (http://www.fontpalace.com).

4. Add additional fonts here:

/ usr / share / fonts / microsoft-non-dpkg

5. Updating the cache fontconfig:

Sudo fc-cache -fv

6. Launch WPS Writer, select the language ( Writer -\u003e Tools -\u003e Switch Language). Or press the quick button on the right panel.

We are waiting for the translations to be loaded.

7. Now it would be nice to enable Russian spelling checker. Download the Russian dictionary from here (http://wps-community.org/download/dicts/ru_RU.zip). We put the contents of the archive in / opt / kingsoft / wps-office / office6 / dicts... In Writer, go to the tab Review, Check Spelling -\u003e Set Language... Choosing the right one:

8. We could be happy here, but when we launch Writer, it persistently offers us a bunch of wonderful online templates:

It looks especially enchanting with a poor connection:

To disable annoying templates, you either need to open the empty document template once, which is located here: /home/%username%/.kingsoft/office6/templates/wps, or change the settings in the file /home/%username%/.config/Kingsoft/Office.conf:

Common \\ wpshomeoptions \\ StartWithHome \u003d 0 common \\ wpshomeoptions \\ StartWithBlank \u003d 1

Now on startup, a blank document opens:

You can switch the interface from the menu "Service" or by the icon in the upper right corner:

Conclusion

In general, this office WPS Office makes a good impression, even rather complex MS Office documents open correctly.

And this is how the version for Android:

About mobile version WPS Office - in our next publications. Do not forget to subscribe to our community page, like and post your feedback in the comments.

In Linux Mint, the interface of all three programs after launch is in English.

To download WPS Office on Linux, go to https://wps.com/download and select

From the list of available packages, select your own (for Linux Mint it will be a deb package), corresponding to the bitness of the system (32 or 64 bit).

On first launch, you will be prompted to I Accept the agreement of use:

In this example, when starting WPS Office, we used an analogue of Microsoft Word - WPS Writer. However, these changes will affect all WPS Office components.

After starting, you will receive a warning of the form

but so far this window can be closed and "dealt" with it after switching to Russian.

To switch to Russian, click on the arrow in the right corner of the Writer button

and go to "Tools – Switch Language ". WPS Office will connect to its website and display a list of available languages. Search for Russian and double click on it.
As soon as the copying of the Russian localization is completed in the download window, WPS Office will inform you that the interface will switch after the application is restarted.

After the restart, the meaning of the previously pop-up message became clear:
Now you have to install the Russian spelling checker. Download the archive.

The archive contains a directory with three files:

The guides for the Russification of WPS Office on various sites contain instructions for adding Russian dictionaries through the terminal commands. But it is probably more convenient and clearer to do this through the file manager. Execute in terminal

Sudo nemo - for the Cinnamon environment

Sudo caja - for MATE environment

Sudo thunar - for XFCE environments

And put the ru_RU directory in / opt / kingsoft / wps-office / office6 / dicts

Launch WPS Writer and click on the arrow in the right corner of the button
Go to "Tools - Select language" and set the default to Russian:

You've probably noticed that when WPS Writer starts, an incomprehensible process occurs, which is displayed by the Docer window:

Download the program from the site and install it (select the package in rpm format of the desired bitness - 32 or 64) http://wps-community.org/downloads

Translation into Russian is done by the community: https://github.com/wps-community/wps_i18n

Russification WPS Office:

1. Open the terminal and go to the folder with the installed program command

Cd / opt / kingsoft / wps-office / office6 / dicts

2. Then download the archive with the Russian dictionary (spell check) from the official website

Sudo wget http://wps-community.org/download/dicts/ru_RU.zip

3. And unpack it

Sudo unzip ru_RU.zip

4. The item was relevant for the A20-A20P1 version, is now irrelevant and has been removed. 5. After starting in the settings, change the language to Russian: 5.1. Click the arrow in the upper left corner of the window; 5.2. Select "Tools -\u003e Change language" 5.3. Restart WPS Office.

Done. Now you have a nice office that perfectly supports MSO text and tabular formats (viewable and presentation).

Additional WPS Office setup

1. WPS Office saves documents in its own formats by default, but they are almost completely identical to Microsoft formats, so we will switch it to saving in MSO formats by default. Repeat these steps separately for WPS Writer, Spreadsheets, Presentation.
1.1. Click the arrow in the upper left corner of the window:
1.2. Tools -\u003e Options -\u003e General and Save
1.3. We set the desired format by default.

2. In the same place we change the encoding of web pages to UTF-8

3. In the same place, set the switch so that when WPS Office starts, it opens not an online collection of templates, which takes time to load, but just a blank document.

Automatic backup

Please note that WPS Office includes an automatic backup function out of the box, thanks to which it automatically saves documents opened in it to a specific directory at regular intervals.

Change the WPS Office interface style
