--- Comment #2 from Edward <[email protected]> ---
I would like to pick up this issue/bug as a newbie to LibreOffice dev. I am
seeing that a VER_YEARRANGE accomplishes the desired task and is already
defined in include/version.hrc. It would make sense to me to re-use that
existing definition, however....

VER_YEARRANGE is suffixed with the text "by" and not all Copyright statements
use this text. I am reading "...relevant for translations..." in the issue/bug
description, so I suspect that it would be best to define something without
"by" and then use that for for the definition of VER_YEARRANGE. This then begs
the question of where it should be defined so that it can be used throughout
the application.

Although I understand that LibreOffice is multi-lingual, I am not seeing the
text "2024" in anything I would consider a translation file. Is the copyright
text actually translated?

As well, I am finding 5 instances in HTML files that would benefit from the
standardization of a variable for the copyright statement, but there are many
other instances in TXT files and I am unaware of any mechanism to implement
such a variable in a TXT files. Is this possible / desirable?

I would much appreciate guidance from more folks more experienced with this
application in regards to where the new definition should be so that it can be
used universally.
