About the warning "This type of file can damage your computer. Do you want to download ... deb anyway?"
That message is a general warning that appears when downloading executable files, such as .deb files on Linux systems. .deb files contain installable packages, and if they come from untrusted sources, they could potentially contain malicious software that could damage your system or compromise its security.
The warning does not necessarily mean that the file you are downloading is dangerous, but rather that you should be careful and make sure it comes from a trusted source. It is important to verify the authenticity and provenance of the file before installing it, especially if you are not downloading it from the official repositories of your Linux distribution.
You can also upload it to: https://virustotal.com to check its Reliability.
When you right click on the deb you should see an option in your file manager to install deb
These are the symbol fonts required by wps-office. They are used to display math formulas.
For debian based Linux:

MUI (Multilingual User Interface) for WPS Office Linux version 2019
Download from:
https://github.com/wachin/wps-office-all-mui-win-language/releases/download/v11.1.0.11704/mui.7z
and paste to:
.local/share/Kingsoft/office6
This folder is hidden (hit "Ctrl + H" to see) and appear from the first time when you open WPS Office Linux, If you have just installed it and have not opened it, open and close it, then the hidden folder appear
then extract there with right clic
This MUI contains:

Spanish (Spain)to see the button to switch language, when you open WPS Office give clic in:
New tab
then create a new empty document: Presentation, Excel or Document:
the first time when you open the language switcher there is only two available:
The program has a file with incomplete code in:
/opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/mui/lang_list/lang_list_community.json
To fix it, firt create a backup of that file with:
sudo cp /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/mui/lang_list/lang_list_community.json /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/mui/lang_list/lang_list_community.json.backup
then replace the file with the one with the complete code:
wget -c https://github.com/wachin/wps-office-all-mui-win-language/releases/download/v11.1.0.11704/lang_list_community.json && sudo cp lang_list_community.json /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/mui/lang_list/
What that line does is download the file that I have prepared to your HOME and from there it will ask you to be a super user to copy it to the corresponding place in WPS Office in the system, if you want to review its content there it will be downloaded to your HOME, you can open with a text editor.
when you restart WPS Office (don't do it yet until you install the spell checking dictionaries), repeat the steps to open the language switcher, then working:
Note: When there is an update to the program and you have installed it, you must reapply the fix, the instruction in the 2nd step. (Well, in the future, at some point of the program code development it may change and this tutorial will no longer be useful, but up to version 11.1.0.11711 works)

to save to PDF check if you has the package libtiff6, and if this is not true, install this with:
sudo apt install libtiff6
and is necesary create a symbolic link to simulate that this versión is libtiff5, to do that copy and paste in a terminal:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.5
give Enter and Restart WPS Office, and try again.
If any of you are wondering where I got the dictionaries from, it is in the following explanation, which although it has images in Spanish I think you should be able to understand it:
Where is the files under PlayOnLinux https://github.com/wachin/wps-office-all-mui-win-language/blob/master/src/PlayOnLinux's%20virtual%20drives/Where%20is%20the%20files%20under%20PlayOnLinux.md
and read:
Where is the files on Windows 8.1 https://github.com/wachin/wps-office-all-mui-win-language/blob/master/src/C_Windows8.1/Where%20is%20the%20files%20on%20Windows%208.1.md
This version is possible not working on Linux from 2024, I tested fine in:
MX Linux 17 (Debian 9 Stretch) MX Linux 19 (Debian 10 Buster) MX Linux 21 (Debian 11 Bullseye)
Note: Mx Linux is based on Debian.
you can see the debian releases time in:
https://www.debian.org/releases/
