Created attachment 75857 [details] ODT file showing the bug When you try to numerate the Images inserted on a document, it assigns to it the variable name "Il·lustracio" (logic, because this is the Catalan translation of image) but then the number doesn't work properly. The 'problem' is related with interpunct "·" char, U+00B7. Related OOo bug: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=114050 As a workarround, I replaced Il·lustració by Iŀlustració in Pootle, but it's not an acceptable solution. The use of "ŀ" char (U+0140) is discouraged by Unicode. The preferred input form is, by far, "Il·lustració", using "·" char, U+00B7.
Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on: Version 3.6.5.2 Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + As I've been able to confirm this problem on an earlier release I am changing the version number as version is the earliest version that we can confirm the bug, we use comments to say that the bug exists in newer versions as well. Marking as: New (confirmed) Normal - prevents professional quality work High - only impacts a single language but quite serious for any power users including professional and academic users to be able to numerate their images correctly. Workaround is less than ideal + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing - http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material

The character U+00B7 cannot be used in identifiers. That is the present design and if you want it changed, open a separate enhancement bug. If the Catalan language is not compatible with computers, that isn't computers' problem.

I will make sure the BoD of The Document Foundation and the MC is aware of this totally unacceptable comment.
Currently LibreOffice has a UI string wich only can have alphanum characters. I know that's enough for English and other 'big' and 'known' languages, but IMHO such requirement is a poor i18n design. See, for instance, UAX #29 Unicode text segmentation algorithm and its word boundaries section. Defining "what is a word" can be something really difficult. http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Word_Boundaries
Hi guys, I think we need to relax a bit; this comment: > If the Catalan language is not compatible with computers, > that isn't computers' problem. Is so ridiculously laughable - it has to be a joke - right ? :-) The LibreOffice project is committed to being the most awesome tool of choice for every language & locale, everywhere - including for Catalan (of course). Also - Urmas frequently files some great locale specific bugs vs. his (non-English) language many of which have even been fixed I think :-) so ... lets not get over-excited here. Urmas - it would be better to label ironic, or humerous comments as/when you make them in some way that significantly reduces your chances of being mis-understood :-) At least, that's my take. Oh - and patches to fix this - are most welcome. Thanks !
I suppose that correct this bug is so easy as change the actual "iXlusctració" by an internationally accepted unicoded formated text "il·lustració". Usually I change it at <Tools><Options><LibreOffice Writer><Automatic Legend><Image>, but each new version or subversion restore the original profile. Thanks
We support midletters (just fire these things through icu) in the normal case for word counting and word boundaries and so on, its for the splitting up strings for tokens for the formula stuff that we have this problem of splitting at the midletter
Caolan McNamara committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b6807fd38373c98adc276697c24dcfcdf9471ac0 Resolves: fdo#61754 allow midletters in field name tokens The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
to test: load the .odt, select the text Il·lustració, ctrl+c, right click first image, caption, paste text into the category box, ok, now works.
