Why not grouping all installation tasks in the language pack ?
1/ the user download the language pack he want
2/ he installs this language pack and its installer ask the user to
provide the archive of the core application or to give the permission to
download it.
3/ if the user want add another language pack to an existing
installation, the installer must be sufficiently smart to detect it and
just add the new language.
Proceding this way, we need only one file for the core application
without duplication through all localizations.
In my opinion, installation should go like this:
1. Download a generic installer with a minimal selection of languages
2. Part of the installer asks if you want to install other languages and
pulls a list from a mirror.
3. If you want one, you choose it and it is downloaded.
4. You get to choose where to install (pet peeve of mine that that is
not currently offered[at least in beta 3, I haven't actually installed
rc1 on windows yet])
5. Install continues as usual
If not, then the other way it -has- to be is to offer and installer in
every language(shouldn't this be how it should be anyways?).
I have a third option for the work flow / installation:
1. Download the 'default install-LibO' (with en_US (or en_UK) and
installer localized for all languages);
2. The installer works (automatically) in the appropriate language;
3. During (at the end of) the user is prompted to download the
appropriate l10n-packaged (and informed about how that can be done later).
Regards,
Cor
