Hi,

FYI, we got a report from a user that he downloaded what he expected an
EN version of LO, but, when he got to the install stage, it was all in
DE. He did have some of this box labelled as DE but he had purposefully
downloaded the EN version.[1]

You may want to read the thread just in case there is a way to fix the
problem, or, it may not be fixable at all.

thanks for bringing this to our attention! Doesn't sound like a website
problem, because the installer is multilanguage, so the right file seems to
be served. It looks more like a problem in the Windows installer itself.
Cc'ing Andras, who is working on that IMHO.


Text of download page is partially responsible for some confusion. For
example, when I go to https://www.libreoffice.org/download/, it says
LibreOffice Windows, version 3.5.4, Hungarian. So I may think that I'm
going to download a Hungarian installer, It is not clear, that I will
dowload a multi language installer. I think this fact should be
emphasized.

Windows installer automatically starts on the language of the regional
settings of Windows. It is suitable for 99% of users. This is a
WIndows feature, not ours. There is a related bug report in Bugzilla:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51038 The question is, if
it is possible to start installer in English without changing regional
settings to English. I don't have the answer yet. It is easy to force
installer to start in any language, but English seems to be special.
Interesting. :)

Best regards,
Andras
