--- Comment #18 from Wim M <wcl...@hotmail.com> ---
I have recently installed LO 7.5.4.2 on three different Macs. Depending on the
age of the Mac, the installation of the language pack will fail initially
("this is not a valid LibreOffice installation"), at least until Spotlight has
caught up with the recent installation, after which installation of the
language pack does work. Depending on the age of the Mac and the amount of
software installed, this can be anywhere between almost instantaneous and a few
hours/after a reboot.
As has been noted in previous comments in this bug and some related ones
(notably bug 129177, bug 12978 and bug 134607), the separate installation of
language packs is unnecessarily fickle and not userfriendly, especially to
ordinary users, given (1) the need to download and install a separate language
pack; (2) the need to run LibreOffice after an update before installing the
language pack and (3) the possibility that it may still fail at that point and
from the perspective of the user, you need to wait a while until it suddenly
does work.
The best solution has already been suggested in bug 129178: bundle the main UI
languages in the app itself. Is there any chance that this solution could
receive some love? It would make both installing and updating LO a bit less of
a chore.
