** Description changed:

  Using Lubuntu 22.04 within a virtual machine made using virt-manager,
  KVM, and QEMU.
  
  When Lubuntu 22.04 is installed in a language other than English, the
  LibreOffice UI displays in English, despite the user's language choice.
  The issue can be worked around by running "sudo apt update" followed by
  "sudo apt install libreoffice-l10n-<lang>", where <lang> is replaced
  with the 2-character language code (for example, de or fr). This will
  cause LibreOffice to display in the correct language.
  
  I have tested using both German and French language options at install
  time - the problem exists in both scenarios.
  
  Reproducibility: 100%
  
- Steps to reproduce:
+ Steps to reproduce (edited to be more precise):
  
- 1: Create a new virtual machine as QEMU/KVM User session within virt-manager, 
using the Lubuntu 22.04 ISO from the official download page.
- 2: When the live DVD boots up, start the installation process.
- 3: At the first screen of the installation, select a language other than 
American English.
- 4: Finish the installation using all the default options, and boot into the 
newly installed system.
- 5: Open LibreOffice Writer.
+ 1: Open virt-manager.
+ 2: Add a connection to "QEMU User session".
+ 3: Create a new virtual machine under "QEMU User session". I set the OS as 
"Ubuntu 21.04", since that's the newest version of Ubuntu that my version of 
virt-manager supports. I gave the VM 20 GB of hard drive space, 4 GB of RAM, 
and 2 CPU cores. I didn't make any other customizations.
+ 4: Once the VM is running, select "Try or install Lubuntu" in the GRUB prompt.
+ 5: Once Lubuntu is done booting, double-click "Install Lubuntu 22.04".
+ 6: At the first screen of the installation, select a language other than 
American English. I tried using German and French, and they both reproduced the 
issue.
+ 7: Use the default keyboard settings for your chosen language.
+ 8: Use the "Erase disk" option when choosing where to install Lubuntu.
+ 9: Set your name as "User", your username as "user", your computer name as 
"user-germantest", and your password as "z". I also enabled automatic login 
here.
+ 10: Wait for the installation to finish, then reboot.
+ 11: Open LibreOffice Writer.
  
  Expected result: The UI should be displayed in the language selected at
  install time.
  
  Actual result: The UI displays in English, regardless of the language
  selected at install time.
  
  Additional notes:
  
- I am using LibreOffice version 7.3.2.
+ I am using LibreOffice version 7.3.2 within the VM. I am using fully-
+ updated Ubuntu Studio 21.10 as the host OS.
  
  Prior to running "sudo apt update", there are no LibreOffice
  localization packages available in apt (as verified by doing "apt-cache
  search l10n"). After the update, the packages appear.
  
  I have not yet tested Ubuntu 22.04 for this problem, so I do not know if
  this applies to Ubuntu as a whole, or to Lubuntu alone. I do intend to
  test this in the near future.
