Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 80785
Translating interface strings not in the GSI file
Last modified: 2013-07-30 02:37:52 UTC
As I went through all the dialogues for OpenOffice.org 2.3, I noticed that there are quite a few pieces of text which still appear in the dialogues as untranslated, even if you have translated the entire interface in the GSI file. To help internationalize these pieces of text, we need to identify them, and create a wiki page listing them, their locations and appropriate translation procedure. That way, we will achieve a uniformly translated interface, which appears much more professional, and is considerably less confusing for the international user. Untranslated text: 1. Please see attached screenshot calc_64051 The XML filter dialogue lists untranslated filetypes ("Calc File", "Writer File" etc.). 2. calc_1493893120 Insert Table: the table field types ("Formatted text", "Number and cell formats" etc.) are not translated. 3. draw_10475, (also 27372 and 703725568, which I can upload at request) The unit "Pixel" is not translated in these dialogues, despite being translated in various places in the GSI file, and appearing translated in other dialogues. 4. html_20620 Autotext dialogue: untranslated item names. 5. master_53239 The names and contents of the headings, table and image are not translated. 6. writer_33357 None of these items are translated. They look like a Help listing. (?) 7. writer_34320 Layout names not translated. It is difficult to distinguish between text that has not been included in the GSI file, and text which is not shown translated due to an error. Please also see bugs 80781 and 80782, which I think are errors, not simply exterior strings. But perhaps one or more of the items listed above are also errors. We need to distinguish error from exterior strings, fix the errors and organize the exterior strings. Easier said than done, but it is a worth-while effort. Where do we start?

Note: not all translatable elements in GSI / PO files. Some localization worg have to do on templates or other files: /opt/openoffice.org2.2/share/autocorr /opt/openoffice.org2.2/share/autotext /opt/openoffice.org2.2/share/template/wizard/letter /opt/openoffice.org2.2/share/template/(yourlocale)/internal AFAIR there is a document where it is described more detailed...
