Bug ID: 147212
Summary: Parallel texts function
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.8.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description
An original and its translation need to be compared keeping paragraph and
character styles, but they may not have the same paragraph structure.
(Otherwise, a convert text to table and then a copying and pasting side by side
would be sufficient).
Current approach
The two texts are pasted in two separate cells in the same document.
Problems
Main
Since their length differs, the comparison is very difficult because translated
sentences are not at the same height in the cell. Constant adjustments of cell
width are performed, but, with long documents, it is practically impossible to
have sentences at the same height.
Secondary
1. One needs to choose web view not page
2. Footnote numbering is grouped together
3. The Default Paragraph Style being set to one language, checking both texts,
requires extra tweaks, which are not easy for the average user.
