Almost no other Mac app has this requirement - running the 2 apps in the wrong order results in a broken LO installation. Obscure web pages are a pathetic user-unfriendly mitigation. LO needs a single installer or drag-and-drop install, like almost every other Mac app. As for the suggested workaround @Foote, you missed a few steps: 1. Download LO 2. Find and download desired language pack 3. Find and read obscure web page, so you don't break your install 4. Install and run LO, immediately quit it 5. Install language pack 6. Run LO and switch to desired language 7. Restart LO so language change takes effect Repeat every time there's a new release. It should be: 1. Download LO 2. Install LO 3. Run LO (LO remembers your language preference)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
