In the file:
svx/source/svdraw/svdstr.src

There are translatable strings that use a variable %O (oh).  This is confusing
to translators as it is too easily confused with %0 (zero) if you are using a
font that does not make a clear distinction betweem zero and Oh.  It also does
not follow a translators expectation of seeing a number or small letter after a
% variables eg. %1, %2, %s, %d.

This has had to be corrected in every single South African translation and I
think we could save a lot of translators time and potential bugs if we fix this
to make it clearer.

I suggest using %1 which is what a translator would expect or %s.  Or if needed
a full variable eg %OBJECT
