Installer UI language (on Windows; the bug is about MSI) depends not on OS language, but on the language set at "Region and Language" -> "Format" (accessible using intl.cpl command line). That is per-user setting. One might set the language there once, and if required, change all settings there manually to have, e.g., Croatian language + en_UK decimal separator settings. 2. Creating an additional installer screen (or better re-using existing "Welcome to the installation Wizard" screen) to place language selector (along with the text like "you may select the language of LibreOffice UI to install here - which is a shortcut for UI selection available under Advanced") is possible; feel free to jump in and make it happen. Personally I could provide you with advises; however, that's not an easy hack in my view. 3. However, selecting the language there *can not* change installer UI. This is limitation of MSI technology; and the only workaround is some bootstrap application mentioned in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=82184#c6">comment 6</a>. Creating such bootstrap would be another, even bigger task. To choose installer UI language without changing Language -> Format, one may use ProductLanguage property with *decimal* [MS-LCID] value for any language supported by installer and OS (shown en_US; note that link below lists LCIDs in hexadecimal): > msiexec /i LibreOffice_X.Y.Z_Win_x64.msi ProductLanguage=1033 [MS-LCID] <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-lcid/a9eac961-e77d-41a6-90a5-ce1a8b0cdb9c">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-lcid/a9eac961-e77d-41a6-90a5-ce1a8b0cdb9c</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
