Description clytie 2008-01-27 02:33:48 UTC
This is my latest collection of bugs from the original strings of helpcontent2. I hope they are useful. 
Previous fixes have definitely improved the quality of the Help strings: thankyou for your efforts in 
response to my issues.

m241-m242

1. Help reference does not match interface

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\00\00000001.xhp	0	help	hd_id3148620	6			0	
en-US	Metric				2002-02-02 02:02:02

This refers to the item in the interface, but in the interface, we only have:

sc	source\ui\src\optdlg.src	0	fixedline	RID_SCPAGE_LAYOUT	GB_UNIT			115	en-US	
Metrics	

Elsewhere in the Help, the string _does_ correspond to the interface:
n
helpcontent2	source\text\shared\optionen\01060300.xhp	0	help	hd_id3155338	24			0	
en-US	Metrics	


2. Missing space

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\00\00000002.xhp	0	help	par_id3157909	37			0	
en-US	Frames are useful for designing the layout of\<link 
href=\"text/shared/00/00000002.xhp#html\" name=\"HTML\"\>HTML\</link\> pages. $[officename] 
uses floating frames into which you can place objects such as graphics, movie files and sound. The 
context menu of a frame shows the options for restoring or editing frame contents. Some of these 
commands are also listed in \<emph\>Edit - Object\</emph\> when the frame is selected.				
2002-02-02 02:02:02

- of\<link href=\"text/shared/00/00000002.xhp#html\" name=\"HTML\"\>HTML\</link\>
+ of \<link href=\"text/shared/00/00000002.xhp#html\" name=\"HTML\"\>HTML\</link\>


3. Incorrect interface reference

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\00\00000002.xhp	0	help	par_id3149483	74			0	
en-US	$[officename] creates ImageMaps for both methods. Select the format from the 
\<emph\>Save as type \</emph\>list in the \<emph\>Save As \</emph\>dialog in the 
\<emph\>ImageMap Editor\</emph\>. Separate Map Files are created which you must upload to the 
server. You will need to ask your provider or network administrator which type of ImageMaps are 
supported by the server and how to access the evaluation program.				2002-02-02 
02:02:02

- \<emph\>Save as type \</emph\>list
??

I can't find this text in the interface strings. The closest it gets is "Save as" or specific instances like 
"Save as image". However, this error also occurs in the Calc guide. What should it say?


4. Incorrect interface reference

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\00\00000002.xhp	0	help	par_id3149664	77			0	
en-US	When saving the ImageMap, select the file type \<emph\>SIP - StarView 
ImageMap\</emph\>. This saves the ImageMap directly in a format which can be applied to every 
active picture or frame in your document. However, if you just want to use the ImageMap on the 
current picture or text frame, you do not have to save it in any special format. After defining the 
regions, simply click \<emph\>Apply\</emph\>. Nothing more is necessary. Client Side ImageMaps 
saved in \<link href=\"text/shared/00/00000002.xhp#html\" name=\"HTML\"\>HTML\</link\> 
format are inserted directly into the page in HTML code.				2002-02-02 02:02:02

- file type \<emph\>SIP - StarView ImageMap\</emph\>
??

Again, I can't find this reference in the interface strings. There are several strings containing 
"StarView", but none of them include "ImageMap".


5. Incorrect formatting? 

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\00\00000002.xhp	0	help	par_id3156360	142			0	
en-US	\<link href=\"text/shared/00/00000002.xhp#html\" name=\"HTML\"\>HTML\</link\> 
pages contain certain structural and formatting instructions called tags. Tags are code words enclosed 
by brackets in the document description language HTML. Many tags contain text or hyperlink 
references between the opening and closing brackets. For example, titles are marked by the tags <h1> 
at the beginning and </h1> at the end of the title. Some tags only appear on their own such as <br> 
for a line break or <img ...> to link a graphic.				2002-02-02 02:02:02

Do we need to escape the HTML sample tags in the Help, so they won't be interpreted as formatting?


6. Irrelevant strings

I still question very strongly why this type of string is included as translatable

0	en-US	\<image id=\"img_id3153070\" src=\"res/commandimagelist/sc_zoom.png\" 
width=\"0.222inch\" height=\"0.222inch\"\>\<alt id=\"alt_id3153070\"\>Icon\</alt\>\</image\>				
2002-02-02 02:02:02

The vast majority of them only have "Icon" as the translatable string. They make the big files look even 
larger than they actually are, which deters translators. In one section of 46 strings in 
helpcontent2/shared/00,po, _26_ were this string, only the untranslatable measurements and address 
etc. varying. Why have these strings in the translatable file at all?


7. Inaccurate interface reference

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\00\00000011.xhp	0	help	par_id3154116				0	
en-US	By default, you see inactive menu items as gray items.To hide the inactive menu items, go to 
\<emph\>Tools - Options - $[officename] - View\</emph\> and disable the \<emph\>Inactive 
menu items\</emph\> box. 				2002-02-02 02:02:02

"Inactive menu items" does not exist in the interface, nor does "menu items": all I can find is two 
strings containing only "inactive". What should be written here? It only confuses the user, to send him 
or her looking for an interface reference which does not exist.


8. Unclear string

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\00\00000020.xhp	0	help	par_id3152414	3			0	
en-US	\<switchinline select=\"sys\"\>\<caseinline select=\"UNIX\"\>In UNIX, certain file formats 
cannot be recognized automatically. \</caseinline\>\<defaultinline\>$[officename] normally 
recognizes the correct file type automatically on opening a file.\</defaultinline\>\</switchinline\> 
There may be cases where you have to select the file type yourself in the \<emph\>Open\</emph\> 
dialog. For example, if you have a database table in text format that you want to open as a database 
table, you need to specify the file type "Text CSV" after selecting the file.				2002-02-
02 02:02:02

- if you have a database table in text format that you want to open as a database table
+ if you have a database table in text format that you want to open in database format
?


9. Incorrect interface reference

31			0	en-US	By default, \<emph\>content.xml\</emph\> is stored without 
formatting elements like indentation or line breaks to minimize the time for saving and opening the 
document. On the \<emph\>Tools - Options - Load/Save - General\</emph\> tab page you can 
activate the use of indentations and line breaks by clearing the check box \<emph\>Size optimization 
for XML format (no pretty printing)\</emph\>.				2002-02-02 02:02:02

- Size optimization for XML format (no pretty printing)

This whole string does not exist in the interface, only:

svx	source\options\optsave.src	0	checkbox	RID_SFXPAGE_SAVE	BTN_NOPRETTYPRINTING			
236	en-US	Size optimization for XML format				2002-02-02 02:02:02

This error also occurs in:

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\optionen\01010200.xhp	0	help	hd_id3154920	77			0	
en-US	Size optimization for XML format (no pretty printing)				2002-02-02 02:02:02


10. Missing interface references

In shared/00.po, starting with this string:

helpcontent2	source\text\shared\00\00000040.xhp	0	help	tit				0	en-US	
The $[officename] installation is incomplete.				2002-02-02 02:02:02

there are a number of supposed interface strings which do not appear at all in the interface. I do not 
know where they are.


11. More untranslatable strings: please remove them from helpcontent2

We start by saying this is an iterative process, but then say the two varieties of it are iterative and

In this string, as in many such strings, the "switched" text is identical: "Snap to Guides" appears no 
less than five times in this string, and thus must be translated three or five times. Since there is no 
variation in text, why have so many alternatives?

"Special Characters" menu item under Insert, but it has no keyboard shortcut. This item does not call 
the standard OSX special characters palette, but a separate OpenOffice.org palette with fewer features

In the Help, you often use the term "UNIX" or "Unix" (should be fully capitalized) when you appear to 
mean "UNIX and/or Linux". These are _not_ the same system: Linux is not a "UNIX-based platform. 
The way to describe both types of platform is "n*x".

I'm assuming this list of colour names shouldn't be translated:

but if so, that should be stated somewhere, to avoid people translating it by mistake. Also, the list will 
be of no use to users of other languages unless it _is_ translated, so is there some way we can include 
a translation column in this table? (Meanwhile, I've just added the translation in parentheses, but it's 
messy.)

Ouch. Percentages are _not_ "numbers that are multiplied by 100", they are "hundredths" or "parts of a

en-US	First letter of Name of Month				2002-02-02 02:02:02

This does not work for my language, and may not work for others. Our months are ordinally named: 
"Month One, Month Two, Month Three" etc., and the word "Month" comes first, so using the first letter 
of the name would always produce the same letter (T, since "Month" is « Tháng »).

These are complementary strings, yet one includes "object" and the other does not. The error occurs 
in the interface strings, but I have given up trying to report interface string errors, since I can't work 
out against which module to report each error, and there are so many of them!  I reported a long list 
of them, as I do for the Help, and they were ignored because apparently I had to assign each error to 
the appropriate module. Well, I could do that, or I could get my work done. I don't have that much 
time, nor do I know how to identify a module from the original string. Sorry for the rant, but it's 
frustrating.

Changed most of the files as requested, in CWS hcshared16. Many thanks for your
valuable feedback. 
Unfortunately, we must keep word count as low as possible to avoid that a whole
CWS gets rejected now, close before a release.
So I only changed the more severe issues from your list, and will fix the typos
later when there is no immediate translation handover date waiting.
numbers 1, 2, 3: fixed
number 4: the string is there. Insert a bitmap. select it, Edit-ImageMap, click
Save, look at the File type listbox.
number 5: no problem in Help - it's in the Glossary - Internet terms
number 6: all "Icon" strings should be translated. They are alternative text
strings for the icons, to be read by screen reader software.
number 7: deleted the sentence that starts with "To hide the..."
number 8: later
number 9: fixed
number 10: whole file deleted
number 11: the strings with 00000004.xhp#wie inside are OK. They need to be such
as you see them in the source - it can be questioned whether they need to be in
the translation files. The other strings I tagged as "hlp_aux_embed" which
should make them invisible to translation database.
number 12: later
number 13: the first string is to insert a new object, the second string is to
edit the current object.
number 14, 15: later
number 16: ? this heading is already tagged as localize="false" - don't know why
you see it in the database. May be because it's also a meta tag? Don't mind -
users will not see it.
number 17: later
number 18: fixed
number 19, 20, 21, 22: later
number 23: removed the first word "iterative"
number 24: strings are double because they are valid for DRAW and IMPRESS. We
don't have a switch DRAWIMPRESS, only distinct switches.
number 25: later
number 26: fixed
number 27 to 31: later (yes, we urgently need a working MAC switch - see issue
82285 and Linux should be called a "UNIX-like" system indeed)
number 32: fixed (uuups)
number 33: as first aid I removed the MAC switch.
number 34, 35, 36: later
number 37: may be the whole OOo-only section gets removed soon, this is work in
progress by other departments.
number 38: keep the "or" - it is meant as such.
number 39: see number 31.
number 40: later
number 41 to 45: fixed
number 46: pls use translation memory
number 47: fixed
number 48: the paragraph is OK
number 49(1): fixed
number 49(2): the color strings got translated in the German version, but they
are untranslated in French. Might be best to leave them in upper case English
and add the translation in parentheses, as you did)
number 50: removed the text in parentheses.
number 51: added a warning note that not all format codes apply to all languages.
number 52, 53: fixed
number 54: later
number 55: fixed
number 56(1): yes, we need both strings.
number 56(2): the correct headings are "Horizontally" and "Vertically".
number 57: later
number 58, 59: fixed
number 60: later
number 61. 62: fixed
number 63, 64: later
number 65: fixed
number 66 to 68: later
number 69: no need for text label, text gets embedded from other file.
number 70 to 75: later
Comment 3 clytie 2008-02-05 04:23:16 UTC
Thankyou for putting in the time to investigate all of these, and to fix the ones that can be done now. I 
am still concerned about untranslatable strings, since the main thing putting people off translating the 
Help (apart from the messy syntax) is the sheer number of strings. Reducing that number by removing 
untranslatable strings would help all translaton teams, and result in more and better translations of 
the Help. So, a few comments... ;)

"number 6: all "Icon" strings should be translated. They are alternative text
strings for the icons, to be read by screen reader software."

I agree that such information is important, but this function is not being used in the Help. Only a very, 
very few of these "Icon" strings actually have a distinct text: the rest, well over 99% of them, still have 
the default text "Icon", which is of limited, if any, use to the user of a screen reader.

So, if we're going to keep them, could we please make them useful? :)

"number 11: the strings with 00000004.xhp#wie inside are OK. They need to be such
as you see them in the source - it can be questioned whether they need to be in
the translation files. "

If they do not require translation, please don't mark them as translatable, for the reasons above.

"number 46: pls use translation memory"

I wasn't querying having to translate them, simply whether they were deliberate or not. I thought they 
might be a mistake. ;)


Thanks very much for your help (sic) ;) with this: I am working on the next report (version 6). ;)
