--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu> ---
@Zahra,
Understand the desire, but project simply can not do it that way.
Separation of the offline (aka. embedded) Help as a separate download installer
remains intentional and will not be revisited. It is necessary because as a
cross-platform application (Windows, Linux, OSX, Android) the code base is
simply too complex and too large to maintain as a monolithic installation
containing all 50+ supported languages.
The core program originated as German from its earliest StarOffice days, but
was reworked into Technical English during OpenOffice era. There is a robust
internationalization/localization (i18n/l10n) community that actually processes
the 10's of thousands of strings, providing translation into location
appropriate user interface. That is done both for the core program and for the
help--and as release cycle roles around those localized sources are each built
and bundled for deployment. The core installer contains all localizations, the
localized helppack is built independently and provided as a separate installer
for each of the supported OS.
Since you mention NVDA screen reader use, for a11y support, users should be
aware that the Project has been working to improve its hybrid Wiki style Help
system which will provide much better assistive technology support via browser.
The offline local help will also be restructured--but will remain a separately
downloaded and installed component.
