How do you make a text in different languages?
I often translate but just between two languages in that case I usually make a two or three column table and put each paragraph of one language in one column and the translation into the other language in the next column, the third column is for comments.
You may want to consider a translation program like "Get Localisation" and see if that fulfills your needs.
What is the best between open office and close office?

How do you get borders on open office?
Assuming you mean 'borders' - it depends which type of document you're using...
To put a border round a number of cells in the spreadsheet - Highlight the cells with your mouse, and right-click. Select Format cells then Borders, and choose how you want the border to appear using the options available - lick OK when done.
To put a border into a word-processing document - If you want a border round the whole page, click Format, Page, Borders... and (as above) define your border from the options and click OK. If you just want a border round a paragraph... Left-click and highlight the text you want, then right-click and choose Format, Paragraph, Borders - and chose your options. Click OK to finish.
You could have a formula in each of the cells A2 to A12 which adds a starting value from another cell to a value in a set cell, which could be your 4 or 8. In the formula the cell where the 4 or 8 is would be an absolute in the formulas in A2 to A12. That is not an ideal solution, depending on where the values in A2 to A12 are coming from. You may just want a value rather than a formula in those cells.
Another solution, if the cells from A2 to A12 have values rather than formulas, is to do the following. Type your 4 or 8 into a cell. Then copy it. Then select the cells A2 to A12. Go to Paste Special and in the operations section choose Add. This will add the copied value onto the cells that have been selected, replacing the values in A2 to A12 with new values. So if 14 had been in A2 and 8 was your copied value, A2 would now have the value 22 in it. You can do the same kind of operation using the subtract, to take 4 from your figures. Multiply and divide are also available.

How many input fields does the COUNTIF function require?
It needs two inputs, which we call arguments. They are a range and a criteria. You tell it from what range of cells you are counting and what the criteria for a cell to be included is. The criteria are included in quotation marks, though if it is a precise number, then it doesn't have to be. So if you wanted to count all the cells between D2 and D30 that have values over 200, you would do the following:
=COUNTIF(D2:D30,">200")
How do you calculate percentage on openoffice Calc?
It depends how you need to display the result. For example - say you have a list of five prices in column 1 starting at cell A10 - you want to show the amount of VAT charged (at 20%) in column 2 and the total price in column 3...
In cell B10 type the formula =sum(A10*0.20)
In cell C10 type the formula =sum(A10*1.20)
Then - copy both B10 & C10 together and paste them into cells B11 to B14 (inclusive) - if you've copied the conents of B10 & C10 - the folmula from C10 should copy down to C14.
As a test... type the following data into A10 to A14 respectively...
...A.........B.........C
27.10 - 5.42 - 32.52
12.51 - 2.50 - 15.01
11.81 - 2.36 - 14.17
36.42 - 7.28 - 43.70
19.87 - 3.97 - 23.84
Column A is your test data. Column B is the amount of VAT (at 20%) and Column C is the total including VAT. NOTE - the hyphens and dots in the table above are JUST for clarity !
You can change the figures in the formulae to any you want to.
