Description Óvári 2022-07-14 08:27:40 UTC
Description:
In versions of LibreOffice prior to LibreOffice 7.4, the `LibreOffice Start Center` was called `LibreOffice`. When `LibreOffice Start Center` icon is clicked, the window that is opened has the title `LibreOffice` (not `LibreOffice Start Center`). Can the icon named `LibreOffice Start Center` be renamed to its former name which was `LibreOffice`?

Renaming the `LibreOffice Start Center` icon to its former name of `LibreOffice` will also help English users in UK, NZ, Australia and others who use the `Centre` not `Centre` as the correct spelling for `Centre`.

Steps to Reproduce:
Please see `Description`.

Actual Results:
Please see `Description`.

Expected Results:
Please see `Description`.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:

Thank you

The values for the keys in .desktop files can be localised:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#localized-keys

Quote:

 For example, if the current value of the LC_MESSAGES category is sr_YU@Latn and the desktop file includes:

 Name=Foo
 Name[sr_YU]=...
 Name[sr@Latn]=...
 Name[sr]=...

then the value of the Name keyed by sr_YU is used.

I asked Cloph on IRC about the technical stuff and he said "stuff where strings need to be put into the same file is usually handled using corresponding .ulf files in LO - strings are extracted from there".

Desktop-related .ulf files are in sysui/desktop/share

If the effort is made, it could also be applied to the Comment keys in all the .desktop files.

Sorry, this is already done as sysui/desktop/share/launcher_comment.ulf and also GenericName in launcher_genericname.ulf
