"The only known alternative we have is to use Microsoft Office for Mac in the
mean time, which is quite an expensive solution just to get default keyboard
input support"

With all due respect for the covert Microsoft advertising, there IS an
alternative with both better price and usability à la LibreOffice: NeoOffice,
which is compiled specifically for MacOS.

Not only does that solve the foreign language input (which, I must add, I agree
with you as a tragic and frankly embarrassing omission), but it also solves the
installer and update conundrum: it is ONE file, which installs for all
supported languages, and an update is user compatible too in that it is again
one action that does not destroy the language settings of the user (which in
LO/OO requires an extra action post language pack installation).

In other words, if you want a non-Englisg speaker to install LibreOffice on
Mac, the NeoOffice derivative is more than worth its frankly puny donation, to
the point of making me consider to make it a standard part of our office build
and pay the guy a bit more per unit for the hassle he saves us.  But I digress.

n summary, agree with the foreign language input, but there ARE alternative
solution that do not involve paying a tithe to Redmond for ruining your
productivity :).
