Bug ID: 152247
Summary: Automatic translation does not work with our own
documentation guides
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Since october 12, we have a new functionality in LO 7.5 : automatic translation
using DeepL API.
The commit implementing that is
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/e20d2de7836da52dbf9e528d1043b1e188097bfd
It is easy to configure the function, once you have open an account at DeepL.
You can open a free account for 500.000 characters per month.
The remaining problems are how the translator send paragraphs to DeepL and
receive translated paragraphs from DeepL.
My test file is the preface avec the LO 7.3 guide :
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/9/98/GS7300-Preface.odt
I identified at least 2 difficulties:
- translator does not like sections or/and fields. It seems that sections or
fields disrupt the paragraph flow so that the translator does not see the
paragraphs in the same order than the user, so it does not send and receive
paragraphs corresponding to what was selected.
- translator does not like lists : it adds an empty paragraph after each item.
As a consequence, if you select 6 paragraphs to translate, it receive only the
first three + 3 empty paragraphs.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open GS7300-Preface.odt
2.Menu Tools > Translate
3.Choose the target language
4.select the list in the second chapter
5.Tools > Translate
Actual Results:
After 3: Translator try to translate the whole document. You see many entries
from the ToC in place of the normal paragraphs.
After 5: you get only the half of translated paragraphs and an empty paragraph
after each translated paragraph.
Expected Results:
Does not replace a translated paragraph by another
Does not insert empty paragraph where there is not.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
