--- Comment #10 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
I would say that we should, to the contrary, simply install all languages (UI
and dictionaries), and remove the choice altogether. The only problem here
would be possible performance penalty, which should then be fixed properly, so
that installed language modules don't harm performance.

Many people struggle installing dictionaries; they even don't know they should
re-run installer and use advanced installation, and instead install extensions
(which often gives them older dictionaries and/or problems). Having all bundled
dictionaries installed is no worse than having all DLLs installed (which was
always the case); and "We do not need that junk on their machines" is not an
argument, because the increased space requirement is not significant for
current standards, while gain for inexperienced users might be big.

For space-constrained (e.g. embedded) systems, there are separately-maintained
packages anyway.

See also tdf#124992 with a similar proposal (also mine) wrt help.
