The only thing that isnt localized seems to be the previews, as it shows up with localized text based on the locale of the user who last saved the template file. So i see a few options to deal with the preview. 1) Have the preview blank without text 2) Have a defined dummy text used for the title and context text (used in iWork) 3) Use the template's english name as the title text (used in MSO) Referenced Bugs: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103314 [Bug 103314] [META] Templates bugs and enhancements -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89676 --- Comment #3 from mi...@filmsi.net --- Hi, using English, non-localized text is the worst thing. I would suggest to use dummy text, if possible word "LibreOffice". I am not sure about the script/font used to represent it (i.e. if in Chinese or Japanese latin letters are supposed to be represented).

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89676 --- Comment #7 from V Stuart Foote --- @Jay, * I think the pure Lorem ipsum on the lower right is going to be best for a generic title and content. Also, for CJK and CTL script localizations don't we already provide a suitable replacement, e.g. on the Paragraph dialog -> Font tab? And, sense it can be culturally sensitive if the defaults are objectionable--can we allow the localization team member to choose a more appropriate generic string for the locale? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

The actual template wont be having this text, its only the preview of the template that will be modified. > Also, for CJK and CTL script localizations don't we already provide a > suitable replacement, e.g. on the Paragraph dialog -> Font tab? As the preview is an image, there is no means to localize. If a preview suitable for CJK and CTL is needed, then we'll have to ship multiple versions of the template, which would be a waste of space in my view. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
