Note that the issue that you see using "ShellMenuView" is different. Also
different (but maybe related to that "ShellMenuView" thing) is what you see in
Tools - Customize - Keyboard - we use OS-supplied key names there, not
something defined in LibreOffice; so those "Vaihto+F12" are what your Windows
gives LibreOffice, when it asks for the key names. I don't think it would be a
good change UX-wise, to replace these OS-defined strings with our internal ones
- for 99+% of users, the current behavior is better, and changing it to please
the super-rare case is not OK.

LibreOffice installer is an MSI, using English (US) as the main language, plus
many transforms (embedded MST) for different languages.

Windows Installer service (not LibreOffice!) selects the language from the
languages supported by the MSI, automatically, *before* LibreOffice installer's
internal logic is started and could change anything. There is no way to change
the language from within already started MSI. It can only be defined
externally, when loading - e.g., by using a command line (as explained in the
wiki [1]).

There is some discussion of technology limitation in bug 82184. There is also
bug 124702, which is about a separate bootstrap app, which would be an EXE,
that could download the MSI itself, and run it with whatever command line it
needs - so a UI language chosen in the bootstrap app would apply to the MSI. I
close this as a duplicate of that latter.
