--- Comment #6 from Olivier Hallot <olivier.hal...@libreoffice.org> ---
Summary: Many features have no equivalent in the other languages grammar
checkers and some makes no sense to me to translate for other languages. The
only usage I foresee is someone who use non-PT ui writing/checking a pt-BR
document, and the tool requires good pt-BR knowledge anyways.
(It will also create noise among translators, who will likely not understand
the strings to translate)
Long story:
<intro>
The grammar checking developed by Raimundo is one of the LibreOffice jewels
that the pt-BR edition has. He implemented several grammar+linguistic style
checks which added a lot of value to the grammar checker tool.
Among them are "pleonasms" ("climbing up","create new", etc), much appreciated
actually. Another is "gerundism", a poor PT language style borrowed from
English telemarketing handbooks : "I am going to be doing...", "I am going to
be sending your contract", or such ugly things...
Portugal, Brazil and other pt-* countries agreed in 1990 on unifying spelling
for their pt language - Acordo Ortográfico da LĂngua Portuguesa 1990 - however
it sparked resistance from Portugal and the agreement is poorly implemented
elsewhere than Brazil. Brazilians adopted the Agreement very quickly and
massively turning Raimundo's contribution one of the good things of LibreOffice
for Brazilians.
</intro>
I have no details of Raimundo implementation, and my best guess is that he
hacked code from other lang and adapted. "numsep" mixing with "gerundism" look
as one of these. Refactoring code for better readability is beyond my
skills/availability but can be a easy-hack for pt-* python coders.
I also noticed that the Python version used in LO is creating warnings on the
console (bug#139523).
For the records, "malmau" refers to "mal" or "mau" (en:evil/bad or
fr:mal/mauvais), a typical mistake in pt, and much less frequent mistake in
other languages.
Plus... PT and ES has 2 verbs for "To be": "Ser" and "Estar"
My opinion: won't fix.
