Give me a break.

The help doesn't 'bloat' the system... I'll tell you what 'bloats' the
system - having to download /install something that supports every 50+
languages.

I'm still waiting for LibO to provide what was promised - *individual*
language downloads, like were available for OOo...

I'd *much* prefer to have just my language and integrated help than what
we have now.

Are you talking about Windows, Linux, or MacOSX systems?

As far as I can see, there are about 113 help packs that can be downloaded - individually - for Windows. The same for Linux. Although Windows has the language packs included in the software download, you can choose which ones you want to install. For Linux, you get to pick and choose which ones you want to download and install.

On both my Windows and Linux systems, "I chose" which languages that are installed.

There may be an issue with the spelling dictionaries for Windows version. You "may" get a large list of included dictionaries, depending on which version of 3.3.2 you installed, or the 3.4.0 version. I do not know why that is, if you do not select the language in the install. My list of dictionaries for 3.3.2 [multi-language install] has only a few dictionaries that I did not choose. The all-language version for 3.3.2 and the only version for 3.4.0 may install more.

SO, if you want "help packs" they are individual downloads for Windows and Linux. If you want "language packs", they are individual downloads for Linux and MacOSX.

Remember, during Windows install, choose the custom install options and CHOOSE which languages you want available for your menu system. Download and install the help packs in the languages you want. Dictionaries are a different issue since there are those that come with the Windows install, but there are others that do not.
