Description Łukasz 2012-01-20 08:32:44 UTC 
whether there is a chance to reduce the installer to one language (English,
Polish, German, etc.). to be smaller installer libre office?

whether we can do an automatic update as a partial, rather than downloading the
whole installer?

Please change it since version libre office 3.5.1

Bad style to have two bugs in one bug report. So re-titling.

Personally, I believe this is a 'wontfix' - creating and uploading 100Mb * 100 languages is 10Gb per architecture, and is a huge amount of wasted bandwidth.

Also - there is a lot of wasteage in the current 200Mb package size. Instead we should shrink that by attacking the wasteage.

eg. there are a chunk of translated files used by the wizards that are pointlessly duplicated per language currently.

There is a nice template of an analysis of this sort of thing in a spreadsheet here:

We should refresh the analysis for LibreOffice 3.5 - and work at shrinking the pointless wasteage.

That should be done before we even contemplate doing custom builds per language.

so it would be better, check it since version 3.5.1 libre office. and so users will be glad that you do not need to download every time the 200 meters, only 135 mb. Think, and will be fine.
