Bug ID: 162361
Summary: Clarify UI strings with regard to collation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
On the print dialog, there's an extended tip describing collation:
"Preserves the page order of the original document."
The phrasing here is somewhat confusing, because printing does not alter the
page order of the original document in any case (and the order of the printed
pages can anyway be reversed by checking a checkbox). A better formulation,
which explains the idea of collation, would be something more like this:
"When printing multiple copies, sort the printed sheets sequentially for each
copy."
Cf. Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/collate#English
"(transitive) To sort multiple copies of printed documents into sequences of
individual page order, one sequence for each copy, especially before binding"
There's also a UI string that reads "Create separate print jobs for collated
output". This would be better phrased as "Create a separate print job for each
collated copy".
