I don't know if this is a l10n issue or a Base issue. So I've filed it against Base and copied it to Pavel and 
to the user who reported it to me.

OpenOffice.org 2.1 RC2 Vietnamese
When performing the TCM release-sanity test 110005 (Create tables in design view) on Windows XP 
(i386):

"1. click Tables icon in [Database] pane
2. click [Create Tables in Design View...] in [Tasks] pane
3. Enter name, address and tel number for Field Name with native language
4. Enter Description Field for each with native language
# call this table as "Table1" for reference in following test cases
5. click [Save] icon -> enter table name in native character -> click OK at Private key creation dialog
6. click [Index Design] icon -> click close
7. close window"

Nam Nguyá»…n reports that Base displayed an error instead of updating the automatic column. The error 
message displayed in the first attached screenshot is:
___
dbaccess	source\ui\tabledesign\table.src	0	string	STR_TABLEDESIGN_ALTER_ERROR
				1	en-US	The column "$column$" could not be changed. Should the column 
instead be deleted and the new format appended?

dbaccess	source\ui\tabledesign\table.src	0	string	STR_TABLEDESIGN_ALTER_ERROR
				1	vi	Không thể thay đổi cột « $column$ ». Thay vào đó, bạn có muốn xoá cột 
này và phụ thêm định dạng mới không?				2002-02-02 02:02:02

The second screenshot shows the name and nature of the column, and the third that it is an automatic 
field.
