In Esperanto (EO) the accents are essential. Missing them out often
totally changes the meaning, e.g.
celo = aim, purpose;  ĉelo = cell
salti = to jump; ŝalti = to switch

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Formula names and accents or other signs

2016-09-30 Thread Olivier Hallot
Hello Sophie

I have discussed with the pt-BR community and it is a sound *go* to
remove accents in functions names. We have names with more than one dot
as =É.NÃO.DISP() that must be transformed as =E.NAO.DISP(), thus a
script that turns accented characters to its non-accented character is
enough, leaving dots where they are.

Questions: will the script change

1) the names of the function in the whole Calc UI (not only in the
formula/source/core/resource.po file)?

and

2) the help files as well?

Finally, is it going to be carried in the next release (5.3) or in the
forthcoming 5.2.3 update?

Kind regards

Olivier
