Bug ID: 158290 Summary: "Formattings" should be used instead of "Formats" in some cases Product: LibreOffice Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: medium Component: UI Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: tuomas.hiet...@iki.fi Description: In the UI strings in LO, the term "formats" is sometimes used where "formattings" would IMO be more appropriate. In computing, "format" usually refers to the structure of a file on a disk, i.e. "file format": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/format#English Whereas "formatting" usually refers to the user-visible styling of text, graphical elements, etc. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/formatting#English There's also the meaning of "formatting a disk", but I would guess "formatting" is not used in that sense in LO. "Format" in the sense of "overall layout of a (printed) publication", e.g. "book format", "magazine format", etc. might be used somewhere in LO, but I don't think it's very common. In particular, it seems to me that all uses of "Conditional Formats" should be changed to "Conditional Formattings". Steps to Reproduce: 1. See https://translations.documentfoundation.org/search/libo_ui-master/-/en/?q=formats&sort_by=-priority%2Cposition&checksum= Actual Results: The term "Formats" is sometimes used in an unconventional way. Expected Results: The term "formats" is not used when referring to what are usually called "formattings" in English.
