Bug ID: 154607
Summary: In menu XML files the "menu:label" property should be
localizable
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Localization
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
This ticket is a spinoff from a discussion in Gerrit while fixing bug 151338.
The XML files used to define menus / popup menus in LibreOffice support a
menu:label property, which allows the definition of a custom label instead of
showing the command's Label or ContextLabel (as defined in the .xcu file). See:
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/framework/dtd/menubar.dtd
The only problem is that this label wouldn't be picked up for translation. So I
would like to propose that these labels become localizable. For that, we would
need to create a new property menu:localize in the DTD file (similar to what we
already have in help XHP files). However, here menu:localize would be assumed
as False if omitted, and labels that are supposed to be translatable would have
to be flagged with menu:localize="True".
This would make it much easier to create menus / popup menus and give names
that are specific to certain situations without having to create new Uno
commands.
Currently the menu:label property is only used in Math (see code pointer below)
to define multiple menu entries that use the same command with a string
argument. To the best of my knowledge, the labels here are not translatable.
