So my take -> hard-code strings.
I have no strong preference here, but if we don't translate them, then having them "human-readable" makes no sense, and it's better to revert to the internal API names, to avoid introduction of another useless English-only name for something that is not available in other languages. But for a random Russian user, who tries to understand why their text is red, reading a random English description like "Color of character", or random English-based ID like "CharColor", might be absolutely incomprehensible. A string like "Цвет символа", to the contrary, would make sense. So - well, on the second thought: no, we should not avoid translation here, and we need these all technical strings to be translated. Of course, an ideal translation might take iterations... -- Best regards, Mike Kaganski -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
