Not sure whether this would be a feasible solution, but here's what I'd do:
It's perfectly understandable that the template documents, delivered by the
installer, have to be language neutral! If we take that as a starting point, I
would solve this problem by modifying the application (Writer, Calc, and so on)
in such a way that they will check upon opening a document for language neutral
document settings (which should really be language specific) and if found, set
those settings to the logon language of the current user.

This should work for every platform LibreOffice is currently supported on,
since Windows, Linux and MacOS all use a language setting for the logged on
user. This setting can be read out by the application software.

What's more: this solution would also be transparent for the user and would
work for old documents all the same.

Note:
If you just open the application -- say: Writer -- then the created empty
document already has all language specific settings spot on. Personally I think
it should not make any difference at all HOW exactly you created the empty
document: the behaviour of the application should be the same. As it is now the
user has to comb through settings to find all the language specific parts and
have them set up correctly by hand. I don't think that's desireable.

I hope my English is good enough, so you can understand what I mean. :)
