Description vitriol 2012-10-05 07:08:03 UTC
Current behavior:

Localized Italian name of function DATEDIF is reported as DATA.DIFF into inline help, but is implemented as DIFF.DATA in Calc
The corresponding name in Italian MS Excel is DATA.DIFF

Expected behavior:

DATEDIF should be implemented as DATA.DIFF, as reported in the help and consistently with Excel.

Comment 1 Andrea Pescetti 2012-10-06 12:20:04 UTC
Agree. I rechecked the PO files I had sent at the time (I took care of Calc UI and Help translations) and indeed I consistently used DATA.DIFF there; the string DIFF.DATA appears nowhere (and yes, I had chosen that name for Excel compatibility).

So I don't know where the problem might have originated from. It could be that not everything was in the PO files I handled.

The first step would be a Pootle search for the wrong string. Unfortunately https://translations.documentfoundation.org/ is down at the moment...

CCing Valter who can probably take care of this, or check in an offline copy of the PO files.
Comment 2 Valter Mura 2012-10-06 14:55:39 UTC
I will check it. As Andrea said, Pootle is currently down.

AFAIK, DIFF.DATA is more obvious in Italian.
Comment 3 Andrea Pescetti 2012-10-07 16:50:24 UTC
DIFF.DATA() would indeed be more natural if inventing a new name, but since Excel is already using DATA.DIFF() I'd agree with Renzo (and with the current translation in the help) to use DATA.DIFF().

Corrected. Andrea, please check, thanks.

It seems fixed in version 3.6.3.2 pre
