Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Missing space in formatting of percents in Calc

If I interpret that correct, Dutch should be "#,##0%" However, "Taalunie" (language 'authority') says, based on ISO, that for Dutch a space before percent is official, although without space is acceptable in non technical use. [...] @Winfried: you're more in technical use that I am. What would be your take here? My personal view (based on experiences with the use of percents) is that between value and the percent character a space is optional and no space is more common. But as I cannot offer any references, let alone standards, supporting my view, don't give too much weight to my view.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] About Calc function FORECAST_ETS_ADD
Hi hihgly-respected translaters, I think I used consistent instead of constant because the interval may be in months, which numerically is not constant (with months having different lengths). And I wasn't consistent in my choice of words... Probably, 'constant' will be clearer to the user than 'consistent'. At least it is clear that I am no linguist ;-) Thank for raising this inconsistency in my text. Winfried Olivier Hallot schreef op 2016-05-08 13:28: Hello Jean Baptiste The source of this information states "consistent" (bug 97021) but I agree that mathematicaly, "consistent" does not mean much and the context call for "constant" instead. Poking Winfried... Kind regards Olivier Em 08/05/2016 07:57, Jean-Baptiste Faure escreveu: Hi, Trying to translate UI for FORECAST_ETS_ADD function, I read its online help to understand what this function does. In the help we have "The time line values must have a consistent step between them." and "If a constant step can't be identified in the sorted time line, the functions will return the #NUM! error." So I wonder if the correct word in the first sentence is not "constant" instead of "consistent". In the UI (string YD83z) the word "consistent" is used too. Can somebody confirm or infirm the correct use on "consistent". If it si confirmed, what does mean "a consistent step" in this case? Best regards.
