I would prefer to see the opening screen (see attachment) with the
applications names NOT translated!
I don't know if we have translatable application names.
Pedro, your screenshot was not delivered; so I checked by installing a
Portuguese language pack; and there in the start screen I see localized
descriptions, see http://i.imgur.com/D1sqDMk.png (but this does not mean
that "Writer" is translated); but if I open a new document I see
"Writer" in the heading, see http://i.imgur.com/BaFqPeJ.png ; everything
seems OK to me.
Applying the same principle to Microsoft Office, we should see Ms
Acesso, or Ms Palavra or Ms Excelente, or ...
I'd suggest the names of the applications are NOT translated globally,
That's my same point of view. We don't translate "OpenOffice", since
that is our trademark. Internal application names have less stringent
requirements, but still it is good to keep consistency with names, and
use localized descriptions when needed.
Names are just names, in the English version too: for example, "Impress"
is not a word that an English speaker would immediately associate to
giving presentations.
Regards,
Andrea.
