Wiki help uses several non-localizable strings in its rendering of online help on the wiki, i.e. "In the Writer", "In the Calc". These make it look as if localizers did not localize help fully. Example: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Switching_Between_Insert_Mode_and_Overwrite_Mode/sv https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Switching_Between_Insert_Mode_and_Overwrite_Mode/ru https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Switching_Between_Insert_Mode_and_Overwrite_Mode/ast So please add these special strings to the help po files so they can be localized.
The problem is quite visible in Wikihelp, marking this bug as NEW.
Confirmed for Italian
** Please read this message in its entirety before responding ** 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. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later) https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System Please DO NOT *Update the version field *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa Thank you for your help! -- The LibreOffice QA Team This NEW Message was generated on: 2015-04-01
Can still confirm, this bug is still present. Since this bug is still present it just shows that totally moving Help writing/editing & translation to wiki is really not feasible if already fully making it localizable on wiki is a problem that persists so long that the bugbot asks for a bug update...
@Dennis: I think this is also material for Infrastructure, I’ll let you decide… I think this is solvable by creating a template in the Help wiki and adding translations to it with a #switch, but us translators cannot register on that wiki.
yeah, I will take this. :-) You can see that the untranslatedstring is in a template https://help.libreoffice.org/WikiAction/edit/Common/Switching_Between_Insert_Mode_and_Overwrite_Mode/sv --> https://help.libreoffice.org/Template:WhenInWriter The code is in http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/help/to-wiki/wikiconv2.py#928 so we should add here the language code ({{WhenIn%s --> e.g. {{WhenIn%s/sv) This is rather easy to fix. The only question is how to upload / update the code so that Pootle asks for text for a translation for WhenIn%s/sv
@Cloph how can we localize the WhenInWriter (etc) templates? Any idea how to get them in Pootle?
Closing this bug since we are phasing out wikihelp since 6.0. Page is now: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.1/sv/text/shared/guide/textmode_change.html
