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. Typo
sw source\ui\dbui\createaddresslistdialog.src 0 string
DLG_MM_CREATEADDRESSLIST
ST_FILTERNAME 50 en-US %PRODUCTNAME Adress List (.csv)
2002-
02-02 02:02:02
- Adress
+ Address
2. Typo
sw source\ui\dbui\mailmergechildwindow.src 0 fixedtext
DLG_MM_SENDWARNING FI_WARNING
170 en-US The following error occured:
2002-02-02 02:02:02
- occured
+ occurred
3. Split strings
sw source\ui\dialog\dialog.src 0 string STR_PATH_NOT_FOUND1
0 en-US
The directory ' 2002-02-02 02:02:02
sw source\ui\dialog\dialog.src 0 string 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. That
means we can't necessarily split the translation in the same way. Please use a
placeholder, e.g.
"The directory '%1' does not exist"
to avoid this problem.
sw source\ui\dochdl\dochdl.src 0 string STR_NOGLOS1
0 en-US
AutoText for Shortcut ' 2002-02-02 02:02:02
w source\ui\dochdl\dochdl.src 0 string STR_NOGLOS2
0 en-US ' not
found. 2002-02-02 02:02:02
sw source\ui\uiview\view.src 0 string STR_NOGLOS1
0 en-US
AutoText for Shortcut ' 2002-02-02 02:02:02
sw source\ui\uiview\view.src 0 string STR_NOGLOS2
0 en-US ' not
found. 2002-02-02 02:02:02
4. Multiple errors due to non-spaced placeholders
sw source\ui\utlui\utlui.src 0 string
RID_SHELLRES_AUTOFMTSTRS
STR_AUTOFMTREDL_TYPO+1 0 en-US Replace "standard"
quotes with %1custom%2
quotes 2002-02-02 02:02:02
Non-spaced placeholders means the whole word is interpreted as a variable by
the translation error-
checker. Please find another way to do this: Every translator ends up having to
check through this false
positive every time we update the translation.
5. Lack of spaces (three instances)
sw source\ui\table\tabledlg.src 0 fixedtext
TP_TABLE_TEXTFLOW FT_REPEAT_HEADER
95 en-US The first%POSITION_OF_CONTROLrows
2002-02-02 02:02:02
- first%POSITION_OF_CONTROLrows
+ first %POSITION_OF_CONTROL rows
sw source\ui\table\instable.src 0 fixedtext
DLG_INSERT_TABLE FT_REPEAT_HEADER 95
en-US The first%POSITION_OF_CONTROLrows
2002-02-02 02:02:02
sw source\ui\table\convert.src 0 fixedtext
DLG_CONV_TEXT_TABLE FT_REPEAT_HEADER
66 en-US The first%POSITION_OF_CONTROLrows
2002-02-02 02:02:02
Please add spaces. This string causes multiple errors (variables, printf,
spacing etc.) when checking the
translation, since the entire unspaced section is interpreted as a variable.
6. 10. Use of square brackets with non-variables
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.
sw source\ui\chrdlg\chrdlg.src 0 string SW_STR_NONE
0 en-US [None]
2002-02-02 02:02:02
sw source\ui\index\cnttab.src 0 string ST_NO_BRACKET
260 en-US
[none] 2002-02-02 02:02:02
