Hello Miles, *,

that is the same on GNU/Linux ... ;)

By reading the requirements on
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/ before downloading LO ;?

OK. But then it would be more useful to integrate a function, which checks the
OS language and maybe a dialog like "Your $OS is using $language. Would you
like to see the requirements in $language, before you install LO?" And maybe
then either open the adequate wiki/TDF homepage and/or some other way to show
it ... ;) But that would be a completely different feature request ... ;)

No, I don't think so. But I am not sure, if they are entirely translated at all
available languages ... :(

>From my POV it would bloat the download size of LO, where most win users are
always complaining about ... :(

I mean, it is a feature request ... ;) It is FLOSS as well. If you want this
feature, you can try to find a developer to implement it or find people, who
would vote for it by adding themselves to CC of this bug ... ;)
Sorry for the inconvenience
Thomas.
