Missing Dutch interface language in LibreOffice Snap

Asked by Peter Roelofsen

My native language is Dutch, I live in the Netherlands, but when I get the LibreOffice packages from Ubuntu Linux (Snap), I can choose from only 15 interface languages, and Dutch is not among them. Even though Dutch is available as interface language on the generic LibreOffice, but that isn't automatically updated. For Dutch people who aren't very good at English, or are good at it but still want the Dutch interface language, this is a bit of a problem, especially because it isn't at all obvious how you can download & install a separate language pack.
This topic in Ask LibreOffice is about the same problem (warning: text in Dutch): https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/kan-de-user-interface-taal-niet-veranderen/73301/5
Can this be fixed?

Currently on:
Version: 7.2.5.2.0+ / LibreOffice Community

I copied my question to https://forum.snapcraft.io/c/snap/14 and to the bug tracker, but in the bug report didn't link to this question because, well, there's not much information in it that would help the developers. I tagged your first reply as solution, so there's not a question of cross posting, is there?
