Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Localisation gone wild

Jelle and everyone,

 Thinking about this right now the system is flawed in the sense you have
to download the language packs manually and install them manually, could we
integrate something into the installer where it will download and
autoinstall the language packs for everyone that wants them allowing them
to choose which language they want?
