--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed this topic in the design meeting. 

The current situation is clearly a usability issue: huge lists never make
sense. It's not a blocker because one can search by typing, but this doesn't
affect the list itself. And typing "Engl" still returns all languages and
countries. And not all dropdowns have a input field, see tools > options >
language > locales.

We may also show only the languages that are installed by application option,  
   however user may paste content in alien languages. And it's not clear what
"installed language" means. 

Sorting could help; could be done depending on region/locale. However, not sure
this is more acceptable than having a reduced number with more items on demand.
