Description Jérôme 2023-12-03 10:10:38 UTC 
I extracted the content of the main LibreOffice_7.6.3_Win_x86-64.msi archive (345MB) with msiextract.

The below directory contains offline translated help for the wiki-publisher extension :
share/extensions/wiki-publisher/help

This could be moved into their MSI package files for offline translated help.

If the wiki-publisher extension isn't installed, the MSI translated help package could install the translation anyway (or provide an option in order to unselect the wiki-publisher translation, but still selected by default).

In order to estimate the saving into the main MSI archive (with LZX compression), the below command build a 2,2 MB file :
7z a -tzip -mm=LZMA -mx=9 -mmt=off wiki-publisher-translated-help.zip share/extensions/wiki-publisher/help

This would reduce the size of the main MSI archive by roughly 2 MB.
