We seldom use the expression "first name", but if we find it, then we consider it as give name, and vice versa. "First" and "last" don't mean the sequence as long as they are connected to name. To be more precise, I looked up in two different English-Japanese dictionaries and both of them read that "first name" was given name ("名" in Japanese) and last name was family name ("姓" in Japanese). This is the common translation from English into Japanese. Anyway, I know that we have to localize the way to show our names in note or wherever it concerns in correct order according to the locale or somehow, but it should be discussed somewhere else and we should file another issue for that. BTW, in my opinion, we don't have to share the same solution among CJK or among Asian languages if we have different cultures or standards. I don't know how about in China. If the situation is different, you can choose another solution different from Japanese. If the changes made by my patch are not acceptable for Chinese, I can get rid of the corresponding lines for Chinese, though we will apply this patch at least for Japanese as we discussed in our Japanese mailing list. So please kindly give us "go" sign, then this patch goes as it is. Otherwise, I will remove the lines related to Chinese from my patch and ask the developer team to accept a new patch, which will preserve the current solution of OOo 3.0/3.1 only for Chinese. I think the best way to look up an English-Chinese dictionary. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
