About WPS
WPS Office is a light-weight office for Linux developed by the Kingsoft corporation. This software is free to use, but under commercial license.
This version is an unofficial release of the 2019 version with all languages interface translation and spell-check dictionary included.
This version also includes common MS Fonts. By using this Snap package, you accept all terms of use of the Microsoft End-User License Agreement ("EULA"): http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/eula.htm
To prevent leakages of private data, the plug for internet is disabled, which prevents WPS to call home in China. Enjoy WPS securely !
Post installation configuration
For security reasons, printing from SNAP is disabled by default. (see: https://ubuntu.com/blog/a-guide-to-snap-permissions-and-interfaces)
In order to have printing from WPS working you need to either give the permission from the Snap-Store permission panel or execute the following commands:
# sudo snap connect wps-2019-snap:cups-control :cups-control
# sudo snap connect wps-2019-snap:alsa :alsa
# sudo snap connect wps-2019-snap:pulseaudio :pulseaudio
# sudo snap connect wps-2019-snap:removable-media :removable-media

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Leap 15.5 users, for example, can do this with the following command:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.5 snappy
Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15.5 for openSUSE_Leap_15.4 or openSUSE_Tumbleweed if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install WPS Office 2019 - Multi-Language, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install wps-2019-snap
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
