Looks like you found it. Ubuntu 22.04 desktop-default-languages points to a number of other seed files (or at least I think they're seed files) such as "desktop-de" and the like. In the Languages folder of https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/ubuntu.jammy/languages/desktop-de, there's quite a bit of LibreOffice related stuff, including the l10n package.

On the other hand, doing a search for "l10n" in https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/lubuntu.jammy/desktop only shows up qttranslations5-l10n. So if I'm understanding correctly, we're only providing localization for QT5 applications.

Even if we make the seeds install other common languages, any languages we don't include still won't work, so we may need a deeper fix than just adding some packages to the seeds. According to Bug #1520278, ubiquity on Ubuntu < 16.04 was able to install languages on demand, so I'm wondering if calamares provides any similar feature.
