The title says Ensure that searching in Pootle *takes accelerators into account *(my bold) Note that this won't be 100% accurate, as LibreOffice assigns mnemonics automatically when they are not set - and there is no way for pootle to know what mnemonic LO did choose... (i.e when searching for ~Open, only return results with ~Open ( no accelerator at all because of the above stated reason), but no results with O~pen or Op~en or Ope~n. However, (and that is stated in the bugreport already): when just searching for Open it should return all variants: no accelerator, ~Open, O~pen, Op~en and Ope~n. Whether this is possible depends on the indexer that is being used (or when no indexer is used) - pootle can use lucene and xapian as indexer. Our pootle is using xapian. So the requirements are: * There must be a tokenizer that preserves the mnemonics and doesn't flatten them out (i.e. make Open out of O~pen - O~pen must be stored in the index) * The search must be able to return all matches when no mnemonic is given. This probably is harder, and probably the only way to do is is to search for all possible variants. And this implies that a new option ignore mnemonics is needed. This sounds ugly, thus a custom tokenizer that will flattens out the ~ and additionally stores a MNEMONIC_O~pen or a similar construct sound cleaner. So searching without mnemonic (the default) will just search the flattened out string (i.e. ~ removed), and when user activates [x] search mnemonic it will only find the MNEMONIC_O~pen one (depending on whether ~ is a special character in xapian or not, imagine another character at the corresponding position instead) - it will not return the instances where LO did define the mnemonic. This might as well confuse people, as they see the mnemonic in the UI, and thus expect search for mnemonic to turn it up, but IMHO this is a nicer solution. It is very very hard to please everyone though ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to l10n+h...@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

The title says Ensure that searching in Pootle *takes accelerators into account *(my bold) With this title I guess (don´t know for sure) that the accelerator must be taken in order to achieve results. What I meant was Ensure that searching in Pootle *don´t* take accelerators into account So when I write Open, O~pen; Op~en and Ope~n appear in search. Or am I getting this the wrong way? -- Sérgio Marques Hello pogrep has an option to cope with accelerators, so it should be possible to use that switch in Pootle search too. takes accelerators into account probably means use the pogrep switch for accelerators, which does what you want. It does sound ambiguous, I agree. You could try using pogrep directly, as proposed by Olav Dahlum (2011-12-17) in this thread. I tried it and it is useful.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] How does one find specific strings in the po files?
Hi Donald, 2011/12/16 Donald Rogers donr2...@clear.net.nz: Saluton When LO starts up there is a splash screen with Libreoffice 3 The Document Foundation and a progress worm, and then another splash screen with Libreoffice 3 The Document Foundation Text Document Drawing... etc, finishing with Open... Templates... Is there any documentation on how to find where these strings are in the UI po files? In the Esperanto version of 3.5.0 beta, the strings Open... Templates... are untranslated, and I have not succeeded in finding them. I used Pootle to search every instance in UI of Templates and failed to find any that are untranslated. In general, you can select the KeyID language, read the KeyID and look for that KeyID in Pootle, but in this particular case it wull not work, because of https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43475 So, it is a known bug. You probably have those strings translated in Pootle.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] How does one find specific strings in the po files?
Thanks, Andras You said in the bug page (below): It happens when you use LibreOffice in other language than your system locale. I always have that situation, and probably most Esperanto speakers would have another language that they use. I don't understand what you mean by select the KeyID language I don't know what po-file the strings mentioned are in, so I don't know the KeyID. In the drop down list of the search field in Pootle there is an option Locations. Is that where to put (a) known KeyID(s)? On the matter of searching for a particular string, I found that searching for Open... is problematic because the search program trims the dots off and one cannot specify entire words only, so I got openoffice, OpenGL etc - too many hits. Where is the place to propose an enhancement of this type? Do you think that it would be useful?

Regards Donald In many cases downloading the tree and parsing it with tools like grep or similar might be easier. You also benefit from having a offline compendium for later use, built from both recent and older translations. I previously used KBabel, and now its replacement Lokalize, for offline work. Much more manageable than translating in Pootle IMHO. I still do the easier bits directly in Pootle. E.g Andras updates the files in Pootle, so I don't have to work as I did in the past, leaving me more time to translate. – Olav -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to l10n+h...@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
