--- Comment #29 from Wim M <[email protected]> ---
Thank you to everyone for your responses; I am a bit surprised at the number of
reactions my comment triggered, but it's been quite helpful since the different
points made across various bug reports and in the ESC meetings have at least
all been restated here.

I remain partial to the solution proposed by Patrick, which is to bundle all
the language files (at least for the UI) into the installer. It has the benefit
of making LO feel like a native app on macOS and it takes away all the
clunkiness of a current installation or update. I have a difficult time
estimating whether the cost of the bandwith would be a real factor, but I
imagine there are far fewer downloads of LO for macOS than there are for
windows, while the Windows installer does seem to have all the languages
included.

The main benefit is however that it really enhances the ease of installation of
LO on macOS, so more users can see how far it has come in the last few versions
(thanks in large part to the many longstanding issues fixed by Patrick). So as
an ordinary user, I hope the ESC will reconsider.
