Bug ID: 155050
Summary: Confusion between "bibliography entry" and "citation"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In Writer, there is confusion between what is a bibliography entry and what is
a citation. The "Insert Bibliography Entry" dialog is IMO misnamed.
What is being inserted into the text is commonly called "citation" in English:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citation
A citation refers to a bibliography entry, but is not the entry itself.
For example, this would be a citation:
According to Adams (1979), we shouldn't panic.
The citation above refers to the following bibliography entry:
Adams, Douglas (1979). The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Insert -> Table of Contents and Index -> Bibliography Entry...
Actual Results:
The menu item and the dialog title mention "bibliography entry". There's also a
label called "Entry" (string voQD7) in the dialog.
Expected Results:
The menu item should be "Citation...". The title of the dialog should be
"Insert Citation". The label shoud be "Citation".
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Not every string containing "bibliography entry" should be changed, because
e.g. the dialog "Define Bibliography Entry" is named correctly.
