As far as I know, you can't actually translate in openoffice. You can do this with google (http://translate.google.com/translate_t#).
You can designate certain blocks of text as being one language or another for the sake of text-alignment, spell-checking and so forth. But you need to install support for the languages you want (I believe they are in the repository).

Goodluck with your homework.

Can you help with this problem?
