I did run a script over 43 help that did cover the changed hids (i.e. xml-attributes), but did not run other automated converstion stuff. And with UI dialog conversion any automatic conversion would very likely not work. (in the sense of creating the mapping of old → new is very hard to do automatically). I.e. it would need hours to look through the diff and identify the old dialog string and the new dialog string (and their location/identifieres) to create a mapping. I.e. the source moves to a different file that makes the context-attributes change, and as UI strings are short and appear in various contexts, creating such a mapping is not trivial. Even for help-xml attributes where it is relatively easy (as the order in the po file doesn't change much, the po file and the message-context stays the same), it still requires lots of manual checking to account for added/removed lines/IDs that otherwise would mix up the mapping. ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
