Wow. So if you're lucky enough to be among the 107 locale for which
Win 8 (for those who have Win 8 of course, Win XP still has a 25%

does not automatically translate into LO actually being offered in all
those languages as I recently had to discover with Scottish Gaelic) -
or the disgraceful number of locales on OSX, you're covered. Even if I
just add them up, that amounts to 2.7% of the world's languages being
covered by this approach. Anyone else has to rely on the end user
*guessing* that they have to run a custom install.

I like LO but I promote it through gritted teeth because the install
and update process continues to be a disgrace.

Elanjelian, the workaround we're currently using is not to use the
default download page but a customised page
(http://gd.libreoffice.org/faigh-greim-air/) where we tell users
BEFORE they reach the download button that they have to follow this
unintuitive path through Custom Installation. It would probably work
for your language too.

perhaps a better option would be to present the user with a "please
select your installation language" dialog as the first step of setup,
and adjust the list of automatically selected locales based on that
choice. Not sure if it is possible with the msi-based installer though.
