Description Joseph DeVore 2025-11-14 21:34:57 UTC 
Description:
I just downloaded v25.8.3.2 64bit build for Windows and the installer is missing the American UI language option.
I always choose the custom option and not typical..
is this new/removed feature or is it really a bug?

Actual Results:
the American English UI option is missing and I don't dare try to install it..


Expected Results:
the American English UI options should be a valid option for the user interface language options.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
n/a will make a screenshot

Maybe because it is not optional, it is the default, and as such always installed.

After install, is there?
Menu>Tools>Options>Language and Locale>General - User Interface.

It is for me with:
Version: 25.8.3.2 (X86_64)

hmm ooh so you see it after install?
I canceled out the install with concern it might corrupt or maybe it impossible to install..

American English was and is the only UI language I have ever selected during install and every update..

it was always select-able before in previous versions...
now its 0 of x selected in that option in the installer. 
if it is the default it should 'still show' in the UI options but be UN-select-able

ok I just finished installing LibreOffice v25.8.3.2
and I did find American English UI as installed default..
it is just that it could cause confusing like for me if it is not seen in the installer for users like me.

Then please add a new bug report, as enhancement for that.
