Since there are apps which offer a manual selection, even if the 
platform developers are cavemen, it still means the app developers can 
be more intelligent than that.

I really look forward to the day German will have been replaced by 
Denglish and since only a handful of enthusiasts and people in remote 
rural areas still speak it, no commercial developer is willing to 
support it any longer because who cares about 190,000 speakers of an old 
form of German. Maybe then some folk will come off their pedestals. It's 
not a question of me personally not liking it, it's against the LO 
philosophy mate, unless it has recently been rewritten.

You might also want to consider whether the next 10 million LO users 
will come from Germany or Russia or whether they will be found in the 
far flung corners of Africa or Asia speaking languages like Yao or 
Bambara, most of which are not supported by Android or iOS & Co. Cutting 
yourself off from that userbase by saying 'it's Apple's fault' is 
counterproductive in more ways than one.

Nice move, just pointing a translator at the code. I like having my nose 
pushed in the fact I can't code for toffee even though I'd love to. But 
let me just point out that again, that's against the LO philosophy 
because the end-user equivalent of that is 'don't bother me with 
reporting this bug, there's the code, you fix it'.
