[changed the summary]
It is a historic artifact that error message resources lack a trailing '.' or
'?', which is later added programatically (in svtools/source/misc/ehdl.cxx 1.3
l. 417 and uui/source/iahndl.cxx 1.48 l. 1508). This leads to various problems:
1 '.' and '?' are not right for all languages. Also, Spanish needs a leading
'¿' (which, however, must not be added at the start of the message if the
message consists of multiple sentences, but rather somewhere in the middle).
2 In some cases, translations for some languages have erroneously added '.' or
'?' (or language-dependent counterparts) to the end of translated messages
(e.g., ERRCODE_UUI_IO_NOTEXISTS as explained earlier in this issue).
3 In some cases, even the original de/en-US messages already have trailing '.'
or '?' (e.g., ERRCODE_UUI_CONFIGURATION_BACKENDMSSING_WITHRECOVER).
So, the best fix would be to completely remove the adding of '.' or '?' from
svtools/source/misc/ehdl.cxx and uui/source/iahndl.cxx, and to change all the
error message resource strings to end with '.' or '?' etc. (or
language-dependent counterparts). This would probably be a significant amount
of work for the translation mechanism: Rafaella, Jörg, any input on what target
could be realistic for this?
