While translating the interface, I found these errors. I thought you would want 
to fix them, as they 
detract from the overall quality of the program.

I am not sure against which module to report each string: I notice clicking on 
"officecfg" brings me to 
"utilities", so I may be reporting in separate places strings belonging 
together. However, I have tried 
reporting them altogether, and that isn't OK either. So this is my effort. I 
hope it is useful.

1. Split strings

svx     source\dialog\impgrf.src        0       string  
RID_SVXRES_IMPORTGRAPHIC        
STR_PATH_NOT_FOUND1                     0       en-US   The directory '         
                2002-02-02 02:02:02
svx     source\dialog\impgrf.src        0       string  
RID_SVXRES_IMPORTGRAPHIC        
STR_PATH_NOT_FOUND2                     0       en-US   ' does not exist        
                        2002-02-02 
02:02:02

Split strings are bad i18n practice, because the grammar of different languages 
is different. Please use 
a placeholder, e.g.

The directory '%1' does not exist

to avoid this problem.


2. Multiple errors due to non-spaced placeholders

svx     source\dialog\autocdlg.src      0       string  
RID_OFAPAGE_AUTOFMT_APPLY       ST_TYPO                 
174     en-US   Replace "standard" quotes with %1custom%2 quotes                
                2002-02-02 
02:02:02

Not spacing the placeholders means the checking filters interpret the whole 
word as a variable. So 
translating that word causes an error. Please find another way to do this.


3. Since you use square brackets to indicate placeholders elsewhere, please 
don't use them to enclose 
translatable text, since the string is then reported as an error. You could 
easily use round brackets 
instead, and avoid these time-wasting errors for us.
