3.launch LibreOffice Language Pack installation

Actual Results:
A window opens claiming installation of "Rosetta", not occuring in the 
main application Libreoffice.app installation (i.e. copy to Application 
folder) which is correctly launched

Expected Results:
Intermediate or Final Window informing about path selection or Window stating final success lang pack installation


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

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?
