We plan a respin on base of AOO 3.4.1 to support some further languages where we have received the missing pieces to make a release possible.

The scope of this respin is to provide new languages only, that means we plan to integrate the new translation in the AOO 3.4.1 branch, create a new source release package and provide for the convenience of our users some further new built binary packages for these new languages.
