Bug ID: 150969
Summary: LibreOffice 7.3.6 - French Language pack does not
install on MacOS Big Sur 11.7 without error message
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.6.2 release
Hardware: ARM
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: mic...@nallino.net
Description:
Hi,
Bug description:
On an Apple Silicon iMac, with MacOS Monterey 12.6, the installation of French
Language Pack is impossible. Spotlight is activated.
Steps to Reproduce:
The installation seems to run correctly, a message with "Installation terminée"
appears at the end of the installation.
However, once launched LibreOffice interface is in English, and in Preferences
/ Language / Language settings, there is no choice of French user interface
available.
Actual Results:
French Language Pack is not installed
Expected Results:
French Language Pack is installed
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
Additional Info:
Workaround:
The workaround consists in a manual installation of French Language Pack.
Hypotheses:
- LibreOffice is installed in its default place
"/Applications/LibreOffice.app",
- User tries to install corresponding version of Language pack (same version,
same architecture as LibreOffice)
Follow these instructions:
* quit LibreOffice,
* mount the Language Pack dmg,
* move the file "LibreOffice Language Pack.app" on the desktop,
* right-click on the file (or CTRL+click for mouses with no right-click); on
the menu, select "Display the package content",
* on the desktop, there is now a "Contents" directory; open this directory,
check that in the directory "Contents/Resources" there is a file
“tarball.tar.bz2”,
* launch a Terminal, then type:
"cd Desktop/Contents/Resources" then Enter key,
"sudo /usr/bin/tar -C /Applications/LibreOffice.app/ -xjf
./tarball.tar.bz2" then Enter key
* Terminal now displays "Password" followed by a key; type your computer
password (there is no feedback when typeing it), then Enter key.
If typed password is correct and if hypotheses are verified, the French
Language Pack is now installed.
Launch LibreOffice, hopefully its user interface is in French; if not, go to
Preferences / Language / Language settings and, in the right window, select
French user interface.
