Hi folks, While doing some translation I noticed that a bunch of translations have what looks like the wrong word to translate “outline”. This word is used with two meanings, sometimes it is like an overview of something and sometimes it is the contours of a shape. When confronted with the string in Weblate it’s very hard to find the context for the string so of course it’s totally understandable that sometimes the wrong meaning is assumed.
For example: The string “Show outline” for dlg_InsertDataTable is a toggle button to decide whether to show the table border lines if you have a chart selected and you click Insert->Data table. In French this is translated as “Afficher le plan” and in Basque it is “Erakusti eskema”. Both of these seem quite likely to be the wrong translation. For the other sense there is “Click the outline style that you want to use” as the extended tip for the dialog that lets you choose a bullet point style. In Galicien this is “Prema no estilo de contorno que quere usar” and in Romanian it is “Dați clic pe stilul de contur pe care vreți să îl utilizați”. Both of them contain a word that looks like “contour” and so might be wrong. I added some translator comments to a bunch of these strings in tdf#173043.
