Reason for closing: Won't fix
Additional comments about closing: It's recommendes to install a base system and then add what you need. Then pacman will ask for the desired langpack.

libreoffice-common depends on libreoffice-langpack, and thus the first language pack
gets installed.
pacman would normally ask you which language pack you want, but during installation
it's called with --noconfirm I think, so it just picks the first one.
A workaround might be to select the language pack you want during installation.
The fix now is to replace the Afrikaans language pack with the one you want:
# pacman -S libreoffice-en-US --asdeps
# pacman -R libreoffice-af
However, this is really an extreme edge case (most people will start
with a base system and boot into it to add non-core packages.) It's
also easily fixable. I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix.
I couldn't tell if the install completed successfully the first time. So I guess it's just a cosmetic problem, but would be nice to let the user know that everything is OK.
