[l10n-dev] Question about upper-case function names

[Clytie Siddall]

Hello again :)






Examples:

sc/source/core/src.po


sc/source/ui/src.po,


/scaddins/source/datefunc.po
1.
SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN, PRODUCT, COUNTA, STDEV, STDEVP, VAR, VARP

2.
#NAME?, #ADDIN?, #MACRO?, #VALUE!, #N/A,
(These look like placeholders to me, definitely to be left alone.)
3.
PAGE, PAGES, DATE, TIME, FILE, SHEET, RATE
MULTIPLE.OPERATIONS



Thankyou for any guidance you can offer with these. :)

I'm reviewing our initial translation, and I'm unsure about the upper- case function names which comprise the file <sc/source/core/src.po>, and which occur in one or two other files as well (sc/source/ui/ src.po, /scaddins/source/datefunc.po). Some could be usefully translated, some probably couldn't. I've treated them as literals, so far. Should they be translated? IF, NOW, COSH, CHOOSE, SIN, TODAY, DEGREES, CURRENT, SQRT, FACT, MONTH, ISTEXT, TYPE WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS, ISLEAPYEAR, DAYSINMONTH, DAYSINYEAR, WEEKSINYEAR, ROT13 (These are repeated in lower-case, for translation, I think, so leaving them as literals in upper-case makes sense.) The OpenOffice strings are entirely bare of context, which makes it very difficult to translate them accurately. :( from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do)
