This is useful information, thank you!

I'm only getting started looking at packaging the language packs of
LibreOffice for GNU Guix, so I'm not sure what are the requirements
yet -- I was only looking at how things are done in Debian and
commenting about their layout.

Given that soffice is capable to find things relatively to its own
location, unless it de-references symbolic links (heavily used by Guix
profiles), it should be able to find language pack data if I put such
data at the expected location.

Which brings me to the question: what is the expected location for
language pack data; what is the recommended layout?  Is there a place I
can read more about it (actual documentation or sources) ?

And do these language packs contain both the translation of the
LibreOffice applications themselves (e.g. the menus and button texts) as
well as the offline help?

Thank you for your time,

Maxim
