Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18769
Bad terminology "Request" (Insert - Graphics - Scan - Request)
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
Menu "Insert - Graphics - Scan - Request" -> Request is not a very good term. Other programs (MS) sometimes use Aquire but it's not good rither.
This should be considered in conjunction with the menu overhaul.
according to http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7690 this issue will be set to OOoLater
In SO8/OOo2.0 this is found under "Insert - Picture - Scan - Request" liz->CJ: reassigning to you because I think this menu entry is old-fashioned anyway. Shouldn't it say something about "scanner or _camera_" because nowadays people connect their cameras to computers just like they used to do with scanners. Or does our feature really only support scanners? Will it support cameras in office later? At any rate, you have a better overview of the terminology in this area, so I imagine you can find a better menu item than "Request". My only idea is something like "Connect to Scanner" but then I don't see the difference from the "Select Source" entry above it.
Issue still present in 2.1, and for ever if none cares. "Acquérir" is perfectly correct in French, when "Requérir" is not adapted to the context. It would be great people start to see we can miss migrations, just because of bad translations, who can be fixed in one minute only.
ES->CJ: this issue blocks issue 17773.
Changed target to 2.4 We need a contempory solution which works for Unix, Win & Mac. I'll close issue 17773, but add the comments here.
Comments from 17773: Hi, Fr translation is wrong under Insertion > Image > Scanner > Requérir. The last choice [Requérir] should be changed for [Acquérir]. Thanks Sophie ------- Additional comments from es Thu Aug 28 12:17:53 +0000 2003 ------- The translation is correct because the English version shows Request -> Requérir and not Acquire -> Acquérir. But both terms will need to be reviewed anyway (See Issue 18769) ------- Additional comments from es Thu Aug 28 12:18:19 +0000 2003 ------- closed ------- Additional comments from es Thu Aug 28 12:20:27 +0000 2003 ------- *** Issue 17774 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** ------- Additional comments from ericb Sat Dec 30 18:05:46 +0000 2006 ------- This issue is valid Acquérir is the correct word in French ------- Additional comments from es Tue Jan 2 01:50:53 +0000 2007 ------- ES->CJ: please reassign to the translation team when issue 18769 will be fixed. ------- Additional comments from mh Mon May 7 11:21:28 +0000 2007 ------- reset target to 2.3, since 2.0 already has been released
