Look at the context info in pootle - if it is a dialog, the dialog's filename will be listed https://translations.documentfoundation.org/fr/libo_ui/translate/svx/uiconfig/ui.po#unit=33752638 → compressgraphicdialog.ui , and as the path to the po shows in svx/uiconfig you can open that dialog in glade /opt/libreofficedev5.2/share/config/soffice.cfg/svx/ui/compressgraphicdialog.ui That already will give some context and typically is enough to guess where the function can be accessed from the UI > The path UI -> the string in Pootle is easy with the keyID, but, to my > knowledge, there is no easy way to find a keyID in the UI. Yes, having just a keyID, it is not possible. To find pootle sting in UI, it is best to go from pootle context/path info. If it is in sw or scalc projects, you already have an idea it is in writer or calc for example. > What is your strategy to find a given string in the UI? See above. easiest if it is a dialog. If it is not a dialog, look at surrounding strings, maybe there is something familiar and you can at least have a rough idea. * filename of po file → rough idea in what module * context info/places → more detailed info. → if in .ui file → look at the dialog in glade → see string in context you can also use opengrok http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/ to look where the string is used, maybe the code then gives you a clear idea (or course depends on your ability to read a little code). ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
