Hi all,

this message is related mainly to the Polish mnemonics but I suppose that it might be useful for the other languages as well. Therefore posting on this alias.

So again... :)

Hi Marcin, Wiktor, all,

some moments ago I fixed issue 69356 - PL: In Polish localization, two main submenus have the same accelerator (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69356). A brief look at the menus in the Polish build reveals that there are more duplicate mnemonics (there are even cases where a single letter is used for 3 menu items - such as 'k' in Plik menu in Writer). Instead of filing an issue for every occurence of such problem, I suggest the following:

There's been a Call for Action some time ago (search for "Call for Action: Mnemonics in OOo" in the archive of this alias). This initiative had a goal of improving the current status of mnemonics for different languages. More info can be found at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Mnemonics_Localisation
A wiki page with tables for Polish exists here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Mnemonics_PL

In general, there are two things to be done:
1. Go through the (first level) mnemonics in the Polish build, find those that should be reassigned to a different letter and mark these desired changes into the tables on the wiki page. This should be done by you as the native users of the software.

2. Once the table is updated, a single issue containing a link to the table is opened and all the new mnemonics are fixed in the translation database - I'll take care of that. Have a look at http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70907 as an example of such issue.

If you are interested in fixing the mnemonics this way, just let me (and the alias) know - I'll assist you with whatever is necessary.

Thanks,
Petr
