Description Martin Srebotnjak 2016-12-30 12:40:01 UTC
Description:
The bundled palettes with LO 5.3 do not have localizable names.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO and a new or existing document in Writer.
2. Select some text and via icons or menus select color for background
3. In the color selection menu select the palette drop-down menu.

Actual Results:  
The list of available palettes' names is in English, some palettes have localized names (like "custom" and "Document Colors", the latter with capital letter), others are hard-coded. 

Expected Results:
Palette names should be localizable.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Comment 2 Heiko Tietze 2017-01-04 08:25:04 UTC
Palette names were never localizable. The list shows just the file names (lower case is provided here for cross-platform compatibility; my try to change this was rejected) without the extension (modification with 5.3). "Custom" and "Document colors" are special inbuilt swatches without a file reference. It would require a mapping table to show a different name for the ordinary .soc palettes like breeze.soc = Breeze, which could then be matter of l10n. 

But first drawback is IMHO that we run into trouble with adding new palettes, for instance per extension. Plus, I don't understand why proper names need to get translated. Breeze=Lüftchen in German?

Clear WONTFIX for me.

PS: The issue with color names (White=Blanc) was asked by Sophie somewhere else. I reckon that translated colors are hard coded and Calc only for diagrams.

True as we only added multiple palettes in 4.4.

Yes this should be done, just like we've done it for bitmap preset names.

Well extensions should provide their own localizations, so dont see a problem there. If the german translation team prefer to leave proper names as is, then they are free to do so.

Localizing color name should also be done IMHO.

+1 to all your comments, thanks Jay,  and yes, color name should always be localized - Sophie
Comment 5 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2017-08-27 19:16:08 UTC
Started working on the color names localization, first patch is in gerrit: 
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/41330/
Comment 6 Gabor Kelemen (allotropia) 2017-09-20 07:54:56 UTC
Pushed all necessary patches to gerrit:

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/41330/7 - standard
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/41614/ - tango
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/42513/1 - breeze
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/42514/1 - chart
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/42515/1 - tonal
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/42516/1 - html

Don't worry about the merge conflicts, these are built on top of each other (sorry...) and committing them in this order should make the conflicts disappear.

Also this one to make the tonal palette patch actually work:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/42517/1

Color names that end with numbers or percentages need to be translated only once, the number or percentage is added to the end programmatically. The tonal palette has names that *start* with a percentage, so the code needs to be adjusted to help minimize translator effort. The alternative to this last patch is to change the tonal palette file to not start but end the color names with the percentage.

Gabor: Thanks for merging standard. Unfortunately we'll likely be removing tango (bug 113858) so i'll be reverting that patch of yours.
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/44837/

It would be great if you could send in a patch to translate the palette names, as you didnt have a patch for that.

*** Bug 114097 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 12 Heiko Tietze 2017-12-01 10:33:13 UTC
There is also a request from the l10n team to make the palette name itself localizable. Doubt that it works for those installed per extension and also that localizing "Standard" or "Html" makes sense and will ever happen.
Comment 13 Martin Srebotnjak 2017-12-02 00:24:17 UTC
Heiko, it does mean sense, because in some languages "html" and "standard" do not mean a thing. What does "standard" mean in Chinese to an everage office suite user?

l10n means localization, of everything. Not of only things that the head of design team thinks makes sense to localize. If those strings can remain as they are in other languages, that are relevant questions for every l10n team.

Everyone should do their own job, professionally. Even if they are not professionals.

And the designers of UI should incorporate the l10n aspect in every pore of their work, not to be smart and decide for l10n teams what is worth localizing after it is discovered they have not done their job properly ...

Some color names are still not localizable (see the tooltip - "Spring Green 50%" in English instead of Slovenian), also see palette name ("tonal").

Yup, I should have cherry-picked that one to the 6-0 branch, sorry. Done now.

About the palette names, I don't see it yet where should the code be modified to translate those, so this part will take a bit more longer.

Recently a new palette was added w/o l10n support:

Comment 28 V Stuart Foote 2021-05-24 13:56:03 UTC
from dupe bug 142457, 

The work remaining on bug 10500, can the pallet names even be localized internally?

And which _should not_ bcz they are proper names, e.g. "libreoffice", "html", "freecolour-hlc", "material".
Comment 29 Martin Srebotnjak 2022-07-11 10:34:59 UTC
I guess the palette names need to be available for l10n, because this might in some cases (when they must remain the same) be transliterated (into some other script) or written in such a way in a language, so it is clear they are as-is.

This probably does not mean changing the actual palette file names, just their manifestation in the UI.

Comment 31 Martin Srebotnjak 2024-07-12 04:11:09 UTC
Still persists.
It contains strings like "standard", "chart-palettes", "compatibility", "tonal",  "freecolour-hlc" etc.
These should be remapped to localized names.
