Re: [libreoffice-l10n] "body text" and "text body"

2023-06-14 Thread Tuomas Hietala

Hello Olivier,

Wikipedia explains the concept: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_text

My guess is that possibly "body" refers to the largest mass or "bulk" of 
the text, or maybe the metaphor is "head and body" (headings being the 
"head").


Other languages may use different metaphors, though. In some languages 
the metaphor is "bread". For appropriate translation, I'd suggest 
consulting a dictionary.


Best regards,
Tuomas

Hi L10n team

I have a question on English linguistics: the paragraph style "body 
text" is "text of the body" right? as opposed to  "body of the text".


I'm asking because I see translated as "body of the text" all over the 
internet and in several languages, including in doc from other 
softwares such as Adobe, MS for pt-BR.


Thanks in advance,

We translate it as LOTekstBlok, meaning "block of text"

To distinguish it from "header of the text", "footer of the text"
etc., then "body of the text" makes the most sense. But I've only ever
seen/used the term in English, and not other languages...

Cheers,
