No, I didn't mean testing of the installation process itself, that was
tested (thanks for that) - I meant nobody contributed to the
specification, told what messages should be printed to the user.
The test-languagepacks were full of debug-statements/preliminary
dialogs with bad wording and lots of typos. Suitable to test whether
they work or not, but nothing to present to a user.

Thanks again :-)

Yes, but that is not what needs to be done to finish it up. Of course
it is the most basic requirement that it actually works, but to
integrate it/to flag it as ready, the UI, the dialogs should be in a
state that it can be presented to the end-user, not to developers :-)

Yes, the author of the spec is OK, (as would be User
Experience-contact if you want to focus on that part, or QA)

Well, the installation part of the whole OOo is out of scope of the
cws, and the specification. That (multi-language installs) is not what
I intended to implement, neither is a big download size something I
want to achieve.
That part is more suited for an extra specification, one to revamp the
complete installation process (but again, I /personally/ wouldn't want
it to go this way)

I'll change it to future considerations, but this is nothing I would
like to add in that cws.
The cws/the specification is only about installing one additional
languagepack. (or course you can install multiple languagepacks by
downloading multiple dmgs and installing them seperately)

That doesn't look like it would launch an installer... It looks like
it would open a text-processing application. I'm more looking fore
something that says "launch me to install an additional language" or
only "launch/run me to install"
