No. I know that function (though I find it rather useless as it just points at
the extensions site rather than help user pull directly from some repo).

The point is that since I have already installed the English (UK) and Gaelic UI
and spellcheckers, I should consequently be offered (at least) English (UK) and
Gaelic by LO for setting the language of a document and proofing. But I'm being
offered Gaelic and Welsh, which is just not right. I have not installed
anything Welsh. And why is it hiding/not offering English (UK) even though it's
installed?

In MS Office there is similarly erratic behaviour when it comes to setting the
document language. Even if I turn off this feature, it will consistently set
the document language to languages which I did not set as default. MS Office
for some arcane reason seems to communicate with the keyboard setting and
over-ride my "Do not detect document language automatically" setting. I
discovered this because I bastardized the de-LUX keyboard to build myself a
keyboard for typing phonetic symbols (so I can do my normal typing in en-GB or
de-DE but then just hit a shortcut to de-LUX to get system wide access to
phonetic symbols without having to pick them off a character map). With the
annoying side effect that MS Word in particular keeps resetting any document to
de-LUX. Even if I've manually selected a paragraph and set it to en-GB or
gd-GB.

So I think LO is doing some "unauthorised" pinging around for locales and
overrides user settings.
