Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Localisation gone wild

+1 I've been complaining about this for ... years? The process is 
different on each OS too, on Windows you download a multi-locale file by 
default and have to magically know that you have to choose "Custom" to 
select just the languages you know. On MacOS you get just the English 
locale and the have to do a merry dance installing the langpack and 
trying to bully it into the UI language and locale you want, on Ubuntu 
you're loosing a fighting battle either way because it forces it to the 
locale of you OS. <massive sigh>

A extra step during the first install on ANY OS which asks which 
languages the user wants whould be *so* much user friendly. And yes, I 
admit it, it would save people like me days of support time no-one is 
paying us for (just saying) when normal users get totally confused 
during the install. I'm really rather tired of hearing "I selected 
language X on the download page but it's now all in English"....
