Well, question how often people really do this - accumulated over all
users and all use cases, expressed as percentage of their overall work.

Out of my head, I could imagine a high number of nice, convenient,
useful features which might fit the one or other purpose. I just fear we
will never convince enough developers to work on all of them, so we need
to prioritize. And the above feature, in my opinion, isn't needed *too*
often (though I completely accept its usefulness), so I personally would
not prioritize it very high.

Uhm - MySQL was introduced exactly because the direct ways (ODBC/JDBC)
lacked some functionality.

You might try playing with the application locale at
Tools|Options|Languages. Usually, it's not really a problem of the UI of
OOo, but of the locale - which often are the same, but don't have to be.
This way, you don't necessarily need to install an english version.

Ciao
