Pedro,
I am not sure I'm following you. In the image you've given a link to I
see "Writer," "Calc," "Impress," "Draw," "Base," and "Math"? Those are
the original English expressions. You said you don't want to translate
them. What am I missing?
As a matter of fact, I think those particular occurrences actually refer
not to the names of the applications but to their respective document types.
I have a hunch the strings are located in <aoo40-pt\svtools\source\misc.po>.
For instance, "Base" is in:
<#: imagemgr.src#STR_DESCRIPTION_FACTORY_DATABASE.string.text
msgid "Database">
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding you. Feel free to explain it a bit more.
Regards,
Aivaras

Names are just names, in the English version too: for example,
"Impress" is not a word that an English speaker would immediately
associate to giving presentations.
I do not want to turn this into a heated debate. I'll just say a
couple of things that may raise our cultural awareness.
Hi,
First of all sorry about the images. I keep forgetting they get cut out.
I'm not trying to debate anything. I don't appreciate the globalization
tendency either, much less seeing my country being sold to peaces every
day by a bunch of people. Maybe I expressed my self poorly. Your
perspective is as correct as can be.
But, working alone in this project for over a year, I had to make my
choices, for Help, UI and Website. One of those *_personal_* choices was
to not translate the applications names, the one I wasn't able to
implement yet because I can't identify the strings on Pootle.

to see what I mean, knowing that, as far as I know, there is no software
in Portugal with it's name translated. I even checked LO, that uses a
variant *including* the applications names. This is the *_only_* reason
for me to ask where are those strings located.
If this is an 'official' policy of AOO I'll accept it without problems
but, like I said it would be a first in software I know!;-)
This said, if someone can tell me where they are and there is no problem
in not translating them, I would be very grateful.
Regards,
Pedro.
