---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [l10n-dev] restrictions for localizing Math Date: Monday 02 May 2005 16:29 From: Elizabeth Matthis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Hi l10n enthusiasts, The developer in charge of the Math module asked me to pass on his rules regarding the l10n of some of the strings that have caused bugs in some languages in the past, and may still be causing problems in OOo-only languages (which do not get tested by StarOffice/Sun QA, so I don't know if they are fine or not). If you have questions let me know. Elizabeth The rules he sent me for l10n to follow are: In the math module 66 strings need to comply to some rules, otherwise some functionality in math is broken. The 66 strings have some common "Resource information": PRJ starmath Filename source\symbol.src GID RID_UI_SYMBOL_NAMES Type itemlist The strings are names for the greek characters and some extra symbol names. The rules for this group of 66 strings are: - The first character has to be an alphabetic character. (any character set allowed) - All following characters must be alphanumerical characters, (any character set allowed) or the ASCII decimal dot (a dot from a different character set or with a different character code is not allowed) - The above rule especially does not allow for spaces or underscore of any kind to be used. - An ASCII dot should not be followed by another one. - Case does matter and may be used (That is "alpha" may be used to denote the lowercase greek character and "ALPHA" for the capitalized one) - No double entries allowed A recommendation for Asian languages is to use the same string as the english one, since there is no uppercase or lowercase. Another recommendation is on the use of word separation. In eqch language only one method should be used. Methods are: - Use no method at all: strictlygreater - Use one decimal dot: strictly.greater - Use capitalized letters: strictlyGreater Examples: Good: ----- alpha ALPHA strictly.greater strictlyGreater Not allowed: ------------ strictly..greater 9trictly strictly_greater strictly greater strictly-greater --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- -- Hristo Simeonov Hristov Leader of OpenOffice.org Bulgaria
