Common use case, but it would not belong in a First Start Welcome. 

A lot of effort has gone into assuring the os/DE provided locale and language
is delivered by default. I.e. detecting ru-RU and presenting the UI in that
language/locale.

Trivial and logical to then change the LO selection from Tools -> Options ->
Languages and Locales on its 'General' tab.  Doing more automatically requires
a change of locale in os/DE as reported to LibreOffice. Not appropriate to a
welcome as it is a very low percentage requirement.
