translated properties file for pt-BR LightProof UI

Sentence checking is implemented thru Lightproof and is closely tied to the language.

Some languages have rules that do not match en_US set of rules. These extra rules are not covered by pootle, because there is no entry for them. The present scheme created localized UI based on the en_US UI, and thus extra entries appears untranslated.

For example, pt-BR version of LightProof implements pleonasms and paronyms detections. These rules are not in the en_US version of Lightproof.

The build system creates the localized *.properties files based on the american properties file.

Local Lightproof developers can supply easily the localized properties file. To simplify the translation process I suggest we remove LightProof UI from pootle and get the translated file directly from LP developers.

See gerrit commit http://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/4146/ for the pt-BR example,

At least, in the pt-BR case, this can be easily fixed.

Comment 3 Andras Timar 2013-06-16 12:25:23 UTC

OK, for the time being pt_BR LightProof settings panel will be in Portuguese. I don't think, however, that this move simplified anything. :) We had to do this, because you added controls to the dialog, but did not add their en-US strings to pt_BR_en_US.properties. Capabilities of en-US sentence checker is unrelated to this issue.
