Hello, I downloaded dev300m3 Intel build by Pavel and really like the result. But since all the great things happened (inclusion of native mac dialogs for printing and opening/saving files), I do have a problem with it, as probably do others using the software.
As you might know, OS X (it's UI strings) is localized into 15 languages: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303588 As you might know, OpenOffice.org is (being) localized into 90 languages: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Languages Using native dialogs (like print, open and save) makes localization of OOo obsolete. If print, open and save dialogs, that user will use quite often, are in English, why translating other less used dialogs into native language? So I would really kindly ask developers/mac porters to find a way to force localized strings from OOo package into the system native dialogs used, if that is possible at all. Maybe that could be an option in the preferences. I do know that it is possible to use old OpenOffice.org dialogs instead. But then, one could also use some other office suite. Or operating system, I know. Apple might support more languages in the future, but how many and when? For them only costs-revenue ratio is important, so I am sure they will not support languages of less-developed nations. For sure not as many as there are OOo localizations. I do understand that for developers from USA, France, Germany or other 12 languages this doesn't look like a big problem. If more and more apps speak other languages, Apple might consider investing more into supporting those languages ... OpenOffice.org has achieved such great response not only because it is free, but because it speaks so many languages. Can we keep it that way? Thanks for listening and for all your efforts! m. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
