Correct, OpenOffice usually does not use gettext. ooo-build does, for the .desktop files (and only for those): http://cgit.freedesktop.org /ooo-build/ooo-build/tree/po
But then, localizing these is not really possible in Ubuntu, despite the fact that they are changed: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~openoffice- pkgs/openoffice/3.2.0-lucid/annotate/head%3A/ubuntu/desktop- templates.diff Then, there is this bunch of po files: http://bazaar.launchpad.net /~openoffice-pkgs/openoffice/3.2.0-lucid/annotate/head%3A/ubuntu /desktop-translations.diff from a 2 years old export of the now disabled template. This is what makes the desktop files localized somewhat - but, not dynamically, as it is for most of the other packages. It is also impossible to add new translations or change the existing ones (that's what I want, there is an ugly typo for my language). It would be perhaps nicer to re-enable the ooo-build template (dpm: any thoughts?) and using that for X-Ubuntu-Translation-Domain, but at the end of the day, this bug is valid as hell. ** Changed in: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- Openoffice.org's .desktop files do not contain translation domain info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512395 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
