------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 31 02:47:01 -0800 2005 ------- The filter configuration data as generated in modules filters (org.openoffice.TypeDetection.*) generates a single file that contains all translations of translatable UI-names. This does not play nice with language packs. For proper language pack support language-specific strings must be put into a separate file per language. As a consequence of this, only languages that were supported (and fully translated) at the time of the initial build are supported by the product. Adding a language after the initial release or beyond the set of supported languages leaves filter names untranslated. Additional minor problems are that too much data is installed and parsed for supported languges (i.e. data for all languages is installed even for a single-language install) and that patching l10n-bugs becomes more difficult and intrusive. Suggested solution: The language-neutral files which are installed with the respective filters to configure them should only contain the language-neutral UI-Names. For fully translated filter names these files should contain the en-US version for use as a fallback. Language-specific data should be collected into one file for each language (but containing data for all filters). This mimicks the way data is distributed into multiple files in module officecfg. The language-neutral, per-module files are installed into share/registry/modules (as they are now), whereas the language-specific files are installed into share/registry/res/<language>. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
