Bug #: 46355
Summary: Optional entries sorted according to *English* name
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 Release
Platform: All
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Installing from official .msi downloaded from www.libreoffice.org on a
non-English Micrsoft Windows (French in my case). Choose "custom installation".
In the
screen where one can select which components to install, these components are
sorted according to their *English* name, not according to their localised
(displayed) name. That makes it difficult to find a particular entry and/or
makes the user think this entry is not available.
That is particularly striking for UI languages (because there are many of
those):
"Coréen" (Korean) is lost in a sea of K*
"Gallois" (Welsh) is nearly at end of list (near Xhosa), instead of among the
other G*
They should be sorted according to their displayed name.
As a second choice (if locale-dependent sort is too difficult), display the ISO
code for the language, with the user-friendly (localised) name in parentheses,
and sort according to the ISO code. Which ISO code? I'd say ISO 639-2/T rather
than ISO-639-2/B; we might want to use ISO-639-1 codes for languages that have
them.
E.g. in an English install:
ara (Arabic)
...
cym (Welsh)
...
fra (French)
...
kor (Korean)
...
In a French install:
ara (Arabe)
...
cym (Gallois)
...
fra (Français)
...
kor (Coréen)
...
In a Dutch install:
ara (Arabisch)
...
cym (Gallisch)
...
fra (Frans)
...
kor (Koreaans)
...
This makes the sort key evident. Compare to the current situation:
In an English install:
Arabic
...
French
...
Korean
...
Welsh
...
In a French install:
Arabe
...
Français
...
Coréen
...
Gallois
...
