I think the actual question was about whether there was a was to automate taking screenshots from, say, a German UI to replace screenshots from the English UI when translating or localizing the documentation.
If I am correct in my interpretation of the question, then as far as I know, there isn't any way to do it other than manually. Of course, it would be possible to use linked graphics instead of embedded graphics to perhaps make it easier for translators to replace one set of screenshots with another -- once those screenshots had been prepared. --Jean On Sun, May 6, 2012 at 8:30 AM, Dan Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, 2012-05-05 at 17:35 -0400, Jay Lozier wrote: >> Danishka, >> >> On 05/05/2012 12:55 PM, Danishka Navin wrote: >> > Do we have a mechanism to take screenshots of localized LibreOffice GUI for >> > the localization of LibreOffice documentation? >> > >> > Or do we have to follow a manual process? >> > >> If you are using a Linux distro, I believe you can take a screenshot of >> the entire screen.
