Thanks for the report. There won't be further bugfix versions for LO 7.4, can you please test 7.5.5 to see if the issue is still there? https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/ Thank you!

Confirmed by other user on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/1833uv9/language_pack_for_apple_silicon_requires_rosetta_2/ @MacUser, do you still experience this with LO 24.2? @Cloph, any thoughts?
Hello. I confirm the issue occurs with LibreOffice_24.2.5_MacOS_aarch64_langpack_fr.dmg and an Apple M3. (I can create a new bug report)
(In reply to Yannick P. from comment #6) > (I can create a new bug report) Thank you for confirming, but no need to create a new report if the issue is already tracked here.
I think I found a solution in the following Apple StackExchange post: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/466284/why-is-a-macos-app-whose-executable-is-a-shell-script-launching-as-x86-64-on-an The fix is in the following patch: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/184110 I only tested on my Silicon Mac loptop running macOS Sequoia so the fix probably needs to be tested on an Intel machine.
Note: to test this, I built signed .dmgs for the main installer and the French language pack. After installing the built main installer, I opened the French langpack .dmg and launched it. Then, I opened the Activity Monitor application, searched for "libreoffice", and noted the "Type" column. Without the fix, the Type is "Intel" and with the fix, the Type is "Apple". Also, just to be safe, I took sample of the running installer with the fix and noted that the architecture at the top of the sample was "ARM64E".

Downloaded the April 24 2025 master nightly build for Silicon Mac as well as its matching French language pack. Installed the night build first. Then I ran the French language pack installer and confirmed that it shows "Apple" as its "Kind" in the Activity Monitor application. Installation succeeded and, after changingg my preferred language to French (Canada) in the System Preferences application, LibreOffice successfully displayed French menus, labels, etc.
