In the .exe bundled installation packages, one could unpack and find inside trans_XX.mst transform files, one for each support language. I used one of them to transform my group policy-based installation, as follows, in order to install Greek:
msiexec /i <libo.msi> TRANSFORMS=trans_el.mst /qn
(The installation was made via a group policy, but in essence that's what happened).
In LibO 3.5 no such files exist. How should I install a single language in this case?
I am a network administrator for my LAN and have been downloading/installing Oo for the last 4 years or so. So I (think I) know the procedure pretty well more or less.
But for the record and to answer your question, I always download from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/. The specific file I had downloaded was named LibO_3.5.2_Win_x86_install_multi.msi
Does this MSI contain the trans_XX.mst transforms?
Are you sure you didn't download the English-only version and your download link was something like:
Please have a look at:
(1) TDF Wiki – Deployment and Migration
(2) Bug 40481 - Unattended msi installation installs all languages by default
fdo#40481 has status RESOLVED FIXED.<br> fdo#50509 - Language selection is not possible with silent install has status RESOLVED FIXED.
"guessing heuristic is switched off, and user can define explicitely,
what languages should be installed.
E.g.:
msiexec /i LibO_...._.msi UI_LANGS=en_US,de,fr,hu
This will install English (US), German, French, and Hungarian."
