Hi Ron,

thanks for your support. I think the main problem on my machine is, that i have
disabled "Spotlight" for privacy reasons and i will never enable it again. So i
cannot say, if it would work normally having Spotlight enabled or not.

But as i already mentioned in my comment (2021-08-25) extracting the language
pack manulally did the trick for me and i exercised this just now with the new
LO 7.3.0.3.

If the creator of the installer would use another detection method (not using
mdls) this could help probably. Also it would be great, if the creator of the
language pack installer add my workaround to the "Readme" included in the image
so other users having privacy issues have a workaround:

After mounting the image you need only to run two commands:
- 'tar -C /Applications/LibreOffice.app/ -xjf /Volumes/LibreOffice\ de\
Language\ Pack/LibreOffice\ Language\
Pack.app/Contents/Resources/tarball.tar.bz2'
- touch /Applications/LibreOffice.app//Contents/Resources/extensions

Now you can use LO with your preferred Language.
