Thanks for catching my error. Looks like a missed the largest chunk of added 
files in my local builds.

Your numbers definitely change things. It sounds like the size of the 
installation will double (803 MB for LibreOffice 24.2.1 ARM installer to 
somewhere around 1500 MB). Does that sound like a realistic assumption?

I definitely can write a shell script to remove localized files, but I could 
also try changing the installer build scripts (for macOS only) that only moves 
the UI translation files into the main installer and leaves the writing aids in 
the language packs.

Thoughts? It might only cause the type of bug reports and posts to change from 
“reduce the installer size” to “spellchecking and/or writing aid is missing”. I 
can handle both types but maybe the second type is easier as I can just post a 
link to their language’s Language Pack.
