"Gridlines" has not been used in SO/OOo before, whereas table boundaries and
table limits were used, but were possibly synonyms for the same functionality.
Therefore I agree that there is a problem either way.
Terminology Issues to consider:
We also have "grid" as in "snap to grid" which has nothing to do with the table
boundaries. So adding another use of "Grid" in combination with "gridlines" is
perhaps confusing for users and difficult for l10n.
Regarding the definition of Gridlines, I think of lines on grid paper (aka math
paper).
e.g. MS Office uses gridlines inconsistently: View -Gridlines shows "grid paper"
lines, which is different than the actual table boundaries seen under Table -
Hide Gridlines.
Conclusion:
I do not think we should use "gridlines". The question remains between "Table
limits" and "table boundaries", in which case, I choose "table boundaries"
because it corresponds to "text boundaries" and "Object boundaries" which we
also have and cannot be misunderstood ("limits" on the other hand is a noun as
well as a verb and therefore possibly a problem in l10n).
Liz->OS: Please make the corrections as follows...careful German and English
changes are different!
context menu of table:
EN_us
Table Limits --> Table Boundaries
German remains as is!
Table menu:
EN_us
Hide Gridlines --> Table Boundaries
German
Gitternetzlinien ausblenden --> Tabellenumrandungen
Under Tools - Option - OOo/SO - Appearance
German only
Tabellenumrandungen --> Tabellenbegrenzungen
The text no longer has the verb "Hide" which is then also consistent to OOo/SO
style, see View menu with many similar entries with check marks.
