Hello Klaus,

sounds like you are using Linux. The offline help is installed in this case under /lib/libreoffice/help/ regardless of the country code, as you have realized. (The same applies to other OS but I don't recall the actual path.)

To solve the problem you could trust in the online help and run the program either with a user interface translated for German or Indonesian. This information is stored in the user space and depends thereby on the user account.

A dirty hack for the offline help could be to delete the /help directory and soft-link to some other place - and set this link on start-up with a bash script. The /help folder would be overwritten with every update, though.

Better place to ask questions like this is https://ask.libreoffice.org/ or maybe the users mailinglist, see https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. And the documentation team offers a lot communication channels too, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation

Best regards,
Heiko

Dear LibreOffice team,

    my wife and myself started to use LibreOffice some time ago with convincing experience so far.
Presently we stay with v.25.2.2.2.

Except, one strange - apparent - restriction.
    We always download & install the "en-us" main version , including the off- line help.

Because my wife is Indonesian , I am German we regularly download the offline help files "de-de"  & "id", too.

 From the beginning unchanged until today it happens :

- as soon we try to install more than 2 off-line help files
    -instantly one of the previously 2 installed help files already installed is eradicated from the main installation.

Why ??
How we can get all 3 help files installed simultaneously & access alternatively 
?


A reply  - and fix if required - would be highly appreciated.


Greetings from Berlin
and
Thanks in advance

K.Winckler
