I don't think that 116639 was the root cause. Looking at the problematic
string in the screenshot you provided at
http://www.saunalahti.fi/rjaaskel/Kuvat/Tulostaikkuna.jpg
the reason was simply a strange translation of what is named "Comments",
"Kommentare", "Comentarios", "Commenti", etc. in other languages.
In the Finnish localization as of AOO340_rc1 it reads:
"Kun tämä valinta on tehty, ohjelman lisäämät tyhjät sivut tulostetaan.
Tämä on tarpeen, kun tulostetaan kaksipuoleisesti. Esimerkiksi kirjassa
\"luku\"-kappaletyyli on määritelty alkavaksi aina parittomalta sivulta.
Jos edellinen luku päättyy parittomalle sivulle, %PRODUCTNAME lisää
parillisen tyhjän sivun. Tämä valinta ohjaa mainitun parillisen sivun
tulostusta."
which is defined in the "STR_PRINTOPTUI 18" line of
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/ooo/trunk/extras/l10n/source/fi/localize.sdf
Getting such a long string into a poor little dialog is does of course
cause some trouble.
[...] Bug is fixed in
Pootle but correct translation is not yet in publshed package.
The other translations for the other STR_PRINTOPTUI lines in the finnish
localize.sdf were also a bit long. Have they been fixed too?
>>> I am sorry if this is not correct way of voting
I'd like to extend that question by asking (e.g. the mentors) if it
should be possible to split the voting in such situations, so that e.g.
individual localization could vote for a different revision? Is a
staggered release process allowed?
Otherwise there would be a inherent scalability problem in the release
process of such a huge multi-platform and multi-language application
targeted at end users: if one problematic localization could reset the
work of everyone else then this would be a recipe for a lot of
frustration, as building, distributing, announcing and especially
testing of a new revision is a huge effort and a lot of people are involved.
