@eeickmeyer I even looked for that package, and couldn't find it at
first! I see it now. Argh. Guess I'm getting used to Launchpad... I've
added calamares-settings-ubuntu to the affected packages. Should I
remove lubuntu-meta and ubuntustudio-meta from the list?

Bug description:
  Using Lubuntu 22.04 within a virtual machine made using virt-manager,
  KVM, and QEMU.

  When Lubuntu 22.04 is installed in a language other than English, the
  LibreOffice UI displays in English, despite the user's language
  choice. The issue can be worked around by running "sudo apt update"
  followed by "sudo apt install libreoffice-l10n-<lang>", where <lang>
  is replaced with the 2-character language code (for example, de or
  fr). This will cause LibreOffice to display in the correct language.

  I have tested using both German and French language options at install
  time - the problem exists in both scenarios.

  Reproducibility: 100%

  Steps to reproduce (edited to be more precise):

  1: Open virt-manager.
  2: Add a connection to "QEMU User session".
  3: Create a new virtual machine under "QEMU User session". I set the OS as "Ubuntu 21.04", since that's the newest version of Ubuntu that my version of virt-manager supports. I gave the VM 20 GB of hard drive space, 4 GB of RAM, and 2 CPU cores. I didn't make any other customizations.
  4: Once the VM is running, select "Try or install Lubuntu" in the GRUB prompt.
  5: Once Lubuntu is done booting, double-click "Install Lubuntu 22.04".
  6: At the first screen of the installation, select a language other than American English. I tried using German and French, and they both reproduced the issue.
  7: Use the default keyboard settings for your chosen language.
  8: Use the "Erase disk" option when choosing where to install Lubuntu.
  9: Set your name as "User", your username as "user", your computer name as "user-germantest", and your password as "z". I also enabled automatic login here.
  10: Wait for the installation to finish, then reboot.
  11: Open LibreOffice Writer.

  Expected result: The UI should be displayed in the language selected
  at install time.

  Actual result: The UI displays in English, regardless of the language
  selected at install time.

  Additional notes:

  I am using LibreOffice version 7.3.2 within the VM. I am using fully-
  updated Ubuntu Studio 21.10 as the host OS.

  Prior to running "sudo apt update", there are no LibreOffice
  localization packages available in apt (as verified by doing "apt-
  cache search l10n"). After the update, the packages appear.

  I have not yet tested Ubuntu 22.04 for this problem, so I do not know
  if this applies to Ubuntu as a whole, or to Lubuntu alone. I do intend
  to test this in the near future.
