What LibreOffice version? Seems to be an older one if only "{mfe-MU}" is
offered as list entry.

A more recent LibreOffice version then.

Setting a default language/locale is only possible if locale data is
available. For how to contribute locale data please see

This is unnecessary as long as no locale data is available. As you saw
in your Windows LibreOffice version, adding the spell-checker with the
proper Locales value in dictionaries.xcu is enough to have the entry
present in the list.
