The string iKkhv (STR_STATUS_OBJECT_MARKED) in chart2 breaks gender in latin languages String is "%OBJECTNAME Selected" %OBJECTNAME can me masculine or feminine depending on the nature. for pt-BR Eixo (Axis) -> masc. Área (Area) -> fem. Linha (Line) -> fem. ... So please find a way to include gender in %OBJECTNAME. Thanks
I suppose it's up to translators to modify this string. E.g., it could possibly be for some language: "Selection: %OBJECTNAME", or some such.
Good catch. Works nicely with pt-BR.
Seems to be OK, so closing
We shouldn’t be forced to do juggling with the translations to work around a bad source string. Reopening until a source-code fix is made.
(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #4) > We shouldn’t be forced to do juggling with the translations to work around a > bad source string. I don't quite understand. Do you say that the source string is bad, and "%OBJECTNAME Selected" must be replaced with something else (which I disagree with: given >5000 natural languages out there, and >100 translations for LibreOffice, you will always find a language where a given string is awkward to translate, so no source string should be considered "bad"); or do you say that there needs to be a machinery to provide some gender-speicifc translations?
Dear Olivier Hallot, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.
