Hi Hennes,

If I open notepad, the controls are localized in Hebrew. So why not OOo?

Hi Alan,

no it has nothing to with the locale of the OS you built OOo on. As I said the text of some controls is localized by OOo (that are those that are localized correctly).

F.e. the "Cancel" button text comes from the MS Windows implementation it's not OOo code that "thinks" english is the right language for whatever reason. I don't know wether this is "hardcoded" or determined at runtime - you may ask the programmers of Windows XP ;-)

What about if you start a notepad.exe and do a "file open" ? Are the controls localized in hebrew ?

Hi Hennes,

The machine I build on does not have Hebrew localized Windows, but some machines that I test on do. The problem exists on those machines as well. Should I assume then that the text of the Windows controls is determined at build-time and not at run-time?

Thanks,
Alan

Hi,

when the system file dialog is used OOo makes use of the Windows File Open dialog that is part of the Windows OS.

Most of the control in this dialog come from the Windows System Implementation some controls are added by OOo.

The controls you mentioned that were translated are added by OOo. The english controls come from Windows OS itself.

So your Windows System isn't fully localized to Hebrew or it might be a windows bug in the Hebrew localized windows Version.

Do you really use a Hebrew localized version of Windows (9x/2000/XP) ?

Hi list-members,

In my Hebrew-localized Windows version of 2.2, I've got a problem with dialogs. When I set "Use OpenOffice.org" dialogs, and open a dialog, it is properly translated. But when I use system dialogs, I get half-translated dialogs. For example, if in the Formula editor, I choose Tools/Import Formula, I get a filepicker window in which the "Insert" button is translated into Hebrew, but the "Cancel" button below it is in English. The window's title "Insert" is in Hebrew.

If I choose File/Open, the window's title is not in Hebrew, but English. "File name" and "Files of type" are in English, but "Version" and "Read-only" are in Hebrew.

How do I get these windows to be fully translated?

Thanks,
Alan
