Description:
When i download an english versing this idiot starts installing in finnish! (Yes, i am in finland, but it doesnt mean i could speak the language!)
Lucky me i wasn't in china. Please ASK before changing languages!
Think if you were sent to china and forgot to install firefox or libre office and you woud try to install it! It isd not good service to automate things you dont know if it is needed!

Comment 3 Regina Henschel 2025-09-09 18:25:09 UTC
The default for the installer is to use the locale of your computer. How to force the installer to a different language depends on you operating system.

For Windows see https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51038#c17 or https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82184#c28 

The problem is already discussed in bug 63827, so I set this as duplicate.
