Created attachment 164637 [details] Description of UI bug with images The name for a Writer document is not consistent in several UI references. 1) In the LibreOffice start panel, which opens if no LibreOffice documents are already open - The "Create:" list includes "Writer Document". 2) In the menu bar from any component (Writer, Draw, Impress, Calc) - File, New refers to a Writer Document as "Text Document". 3) In the Windows File Explorer, Context menu (right-click, or Shift-F10) – The “New” option refers to a Writer Document as "OpenDocument Text".
Pretty sure we had this or similar topic recently. But cannot find. We use Text Documents widely but I'd prefer Writer Document/s.
Start center: "Writer Document" (startcenter.ui: writer_all) Main menu > New: "Text Document" (STR_DESCRIPTION_FACTORY_WRITER) OS context menu: "OpenDocument Text" (STR_DESCRIPTION_OO_WRITER_DOC) For the start center you may not know the module's name Writer while within the running application it's a bit weird to use it again. And on the OS isn't it more important to point out the file format since you could a different program. I tend to rather keep the current state but more opinions, also from l10n, are welcome.

I would only change OS context menu to Writer Document too because users are more aware about the application name than the file format name they use (file format extensions are often hidden on workstations).
So let's do it and change STR_DESCRIPTION_OO_WRITER_DOC to "%PRODUCTNAME Writer Document" in include/svtools/strings.hrc (also for other modules).
