Hi all,

I vote for solution #3

I talked with Oliver Specht, he said that he don't see any technical problem if those Labels.xcu will be moved into a extension. That extension have to be installed during the office installation like the dictionaries. This would enable us to easy add further country dependend labels from various companies as well.

1) and 2) both cause problems ... especially 2) will cause a lot of confusing in the future.

There is possible another option, mark all those entries in Labels.xcu with an "x-no-translate" entry and add all translated strings manually into the Labels.xcu . The strings will be excluded from the translation process thus every strings change have to brought in by an cws.

officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu:
....
   <prop oor:name="DialogScale">
        <value xml:lang="x-no-translate">10</value>
        <value xml:lang="en-US">10</value>
        <value xml:lang="de">0</value>
        <value xml:lang="ar">13</value>
        <value xml:lang="ca">10</value>

but this is only an option if those strings do not change often.... a extension would be more flexible.

Cheers,
Ivo

Hi Rafaella and All

I vote for option 3.

The recipe to generate an extension for labels is rather simple, and is given below

http://extensions.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=1459

Works perfectly, by the way.

Should we open a specific issue?

Option 3 - move all products with not-english name to an extension
(and out of translation). This makes also possible for different
countries with their own label producers to create their own
extensions. How many translators can handle source strings in German?
Maybe a lot (suspicious anyway). And in Chinese? Maybe a bit less...
;)
this is a very valid point. However, we need someone from release engineering to comment if this is doable.

Thanks,
Rafaella
