Created attachment 86831

case study (4 language examples)
At first I intended to flag my issue as "Language" - Polish. After some test,
due to differences in English, French and German versions, I decided to mark it
as "UI".
Consider three first items of menu "Edit": Undo, Redo, Repeat and their
equivalents on the toolbar.
If user makes changes in document (any of AOO components), relevant information
is displayed:
- on toolbar (as help text if the mouse cursor is above corresponding items'
icon)
- in "Edit" menu after the name of menu item
for example:
Undo: New Paragraph Ctrl + Z
Redo: Typing: 'Dwd' Ctrl + Y
Repeat: Paste Clipboard Ctrl+Shift+Y
Thus one could expect that general format of information is as follows:
<Name of Command><:>< ><Name of operation>
That's true ONLY for English version. French and German versions demonstrate
variations like missing space, additional space or missing colon. Lack of
uniform approach is obvious yet acceptable.
See attached image to grasp the idea.
On the other hand Polish version definitely represents the WORST case for two
reasons:
1. no separating characters at all
Just look at example below (on the left - Polish, on the right - English):
CofnijWklejSchowek Undo: Paste Clipboard
PowtórzWprowadzanie: 'Dwd' Redo: Typing: 'Dwd'
2. inconsistency
"Glued" information occurs in every AOO component (Writer, Calc, Impress,
Draw, Base, Math) with
one surprising exception within Base.
Tabele > Utwórz projekt tabeli... Tables > Create Table
in Design View...
where information is not "glued".
(see attached image - examples in Polish are show on the right side)
No clue what to think of that difference.
