--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Because the Windows installer packaging is monolithic including all languages,
with optional localized help file .msi, there is no logic in the download pages
that can call the needed SelectLanguage custom action to set a user selected
locale other than OS system/user locale.

Without major changes to the Windows build system and packaging, this would
require the current monolithic installer to be wrapped in a setup.exe with
logic to control the custom action and pass in arguments made with the website
download.

I don't seem much need to move from that, especially as a move to
"regionalized" and reduced size .msi builds (as for bug 97991) has little dev
interest. And frankly getting incremental updates (bug 54242) sorted is a lot
more important UX than handling the corner case installation downloads where
system or user locale is not the desired installation locale.

Aside from facilitating alternate locale installs, delivery  with a configured
setup.exe would offer a means of allowing convenient parallel /a admin
installations.  But to me it seems like a lot of churn for limited value--most
users will install a single build of LibreOffice and not be interested in
removing/installing to gain use of GUI in other locale.  

Those that need it now are going to be comfortable with running a command line
install with UI_LANGS flags set (bug 50509) for those language locales they
need.

IMHO => WONTFIX
