A list of reasons for keeping the status quo is the optimal solution, i.e. the
current arrangement where all the languages are in one file.
1. How would the new arrangement change the installation instruction (cf.
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/install-howto/windows/) without
complicating them further?
2. It could create confusion for LibreOffice users if there are different
downloads for different locations.
3. In multicultural Australia there is a large likelihood that there is a
person from almost every nation that LibreOffice supports is in Australia.
Spelling checkers/grammar checkers/thesauri for English and another language is
convenient by being bundled in the one installer.
4. It was interesting to note that you listed
ro (Romanian) in LibreOffice-westEU
hu (Hungarian) in LibreOffice-eastEU
when *hu* is more west and *ro* is more east.
5. There may be request to bundle LibreOffice on political alliances, eg. have
a installer which has all the EU member states included.
6. The current set-up with separate downloads for each offline help in the
language seems very simple on all account, except perhaps if there a download
limits. Perhaps solutions could be found like:
a) bundling LibreOffice on the cover DVD of computing magazines
b) hosting LibreOffice on local ISP ftp servers
c) some other creative options which would not divert the resources of TDF from
enhancing LibreOffice, Document Liberation
7. You mentioned that this concept would not work for Linux. Microsoft may be a
temporary platform as:
a) Moving a city to Linux needs political backing, says Munich project leader

b) Russia Plans to Move to Linux

c) German town of Gummersbach migrates to Linux
http://osssa.org.za/2014/10/07/german-town-of-gummersbach-migrates-to-linux/
d) There may be other migrations to Linux happening, whether in government or
business, that are not in the news
The current arrangement WorksForMe.
