Translation of templates has a few issues. The most important is the layout, which also needs to be localized. For example, in Finland, official documents are based on the SFS 2487 standard, which I think is based on some ISO layout standard. Most of the templates distributed by the Finnish team are based on the standard, and we would very much like to have any templates distributed with OOo to follow it.
Extraction of strings from odf to xliff and po would be most welcome for document translation purposes. I have once written such program for another message format. Extraction and merging back are somewhat easy to do with xslt. -- alkuper. viesti -- Aihe: [native-lang] ODF format to XLIFF and back Lähettäjä: Kálmán Szalai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Päivämäärä: 26.07.2007 15:17 Hello! The goal is to create an process where the contributors can translate the templates from English to other languages. First I was thinking about converting ODF templates to PO, but I found I have to convert them to XLIFF because of lacking ODF2PO utilities. Next I wanted to test tools that convert ODF to XLIFF for translation and convert it back. I found 2-3 utility that can do the trick. One of the is open language tool (https://open-language-tools.dev.java.net/#releases) that looks like as a working solution. I found that no templates support, so I have to rename files to OD? instead of using OT... Is it possible to do, or this is an enhancement request? Also I found that - it is not possible to translate meta.xml information - like template title, article, other meta element. Can I request to do it for the next version? Have you found better way? Generally I want to find a good way that support mass translation and what is easy for the translation contributors.
