I don't know who has approved this but it's a mistake for me. Depends on ... ;-) I don't know whether you can buy the Zweckform labels anywhere else than in Germany, and I also don't know a translation of the examples given, or if there exists one if they were sold abroad. Heck, I'm a native German speaker and I even don't know the German terms used with those labels ;-) So, it might be better to not translate them, unless there are official translations used by the Zweckform company for packaging. For the Avery labels probably native English terms do exist. Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
