To clear this up:

The windows installer is a multi-language packet. It contains all UI languages.
What language will be installed/used by default is determined by the Operating
System's locale settings, but can always be overridden when using the custom
setup options in the installer.

What is printed on the download page is the language that is determined by the
user's browser and/or manual selection. It is to show the downloads matching
that language.

In the case of windows, you will be offered: 

* the main installer that includes all ui languages
* helppack in the listed (as seen above) language

For Linux it would show 
* the main installer (always en-US only)
* languagepack (the UI in the desired language)
* the helppack 

On Mac it is:
* the main installer (always en-US only)
* the languagepack (that includes helpcontent)


"I played around with Win XP SP3 Control Panel local/regional settings - these
settings doesn't influence the LOO choice of User interface, it stays always as
EN US."

It does, but only to the extent as it can only switch to different UI languages
when those additional UI languages are actually installed. So if en-GB was left
out during installation because you had the regional settings set to US, then
it won't install the necessary files for en-GB / only adapt things like decimal
separators or default document language, but not the language for the UI
elements.

#####################

If you think that it should have installed en-GB with your regional settings,
then please state what exacly you had your Windows set to when installing.
(preferrably in a new bug, so that it is easier to follow, but feel free to
post a link to the new bug here)
