This is not quite right. Installation process by now reads as follows:

1. Download, open .dmg and  and install LO. On a Mac this means just copy the
file somewhere. No need to start LO at this point!
2. Download, open .dmg and start language pack installer for your native
language. The installer of the language pack is localized, so there should be
no problem.
3. Start LO the first time. In my experience it starts in the language last
installed by language pack. (This may be attributed to my saved preferences; so
if there is no such mechanism in code, this could be an improvement)

This involves definitely less foreign language/english UI interaction than
starting LO after download, using the english(!) UI to find the language
selection, tick my language and "OK" it. Even if above step 3 fails to use the
local installed and LO starts in english, form there it is the same interaction
than starting in build-in langpack-installer.

The only thing I could see as an improvement would be a language selector
popping up at fist start as part of the personalization dialog. But because
this is a Mac only thing, I see no chance to get that - except we change this
also for Windows to get smaller over all volume of downloads.
