it seems I missed a mail, or you think of something different.

Is it a "Search" index or a "Table of Contents" index? I'm thinking of this, still unclear, issue: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122871 The scripts I know of (helpcontent2/util) generates tree files for some but not all product parts. The tree files are sent to translation (eg. helpcontent2/source/text/sbasic/makefile.mk) and then used to make a table of content. However I see no evidence (tree files are in svn) that these scripts was used for 3.4.1 or 4.0, so I assume fhat TOC is outdated (at least it is on my pc). > > >> Since it seems I am a minority in here, I will refrain from promoting what >> correspond to the sources we actually use. > > > We just need knowledge, nothing more. So in the UI you say that Danish did not translate the "name" attributes and everything still works. And indeed, since new volunteers are working on the UI first (which I was forgetting), this is enough. > > Regina and me clearly had the Help in mind. But now I'm still curious: what happens if one does not translate the "name" attribute in the help? Besides the obvious observation that most languages appear to translate it and to have done so for ages, what exactly would break here? talking only about help, nothing will change unless somebody invokes the scripts to make a new TOC. Standard TOC are in english and I can the tree file is translated to several lang. If the scripts are invoked, and both namre= and tree is translated correct a new TOC will be available. I work on replacing this very manual part. rgds jan i > > > Regards, > Andrea. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] >
