            Bug ID: 129177
           Summary: [macOS] Change the language pack format into .oxt for
                    better manageability
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.3.0 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: bitigchi at me.com

Description:
Currently LO uses a custom script to install new localisations. This is less
than ideal and causes issues with macOS system Gatekeeper and newly introduced
security measures in macOS. Although currently these bugs are fixed, there's no
guarantee that new bugs won't spawn in the future.

One possible solution would be making the language packs as .oxt extensions.
These files do not compromise the integrity of LO as an application, and can
easily be managed through the Extension Manager.

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to install a new language via the currently provided language packs.

Actual Results:
...

Expected Results:
...


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
