l10n: File type selection does not show Calc section in Japanese Linux/Solaris version
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:00:08 UTC
File type drop down list in FileOpen dialog does not show Calc section (start from "OpenDocument spreadsheet" to "Web Page Query") with Japanese Linux/Solairs version. English versions and Japanese Windows version show these Calc entries correctly.
TM->AS: Reproducible on Solaris (japanese) with m130 build of starsuite. When changing OS-language to korean or english, everything is fine. In japanese the whole spreadsheet-section is missing (no fallback to english).
No fallback to English? What do you mean? What should be done to fix this? Can ja community help creating a patch? We would like to ask you to change the target milestone: OOo 2.0.1 --> OOo 2.0
I just asked MH about it and he told me if this fix is not deep one, we can integrate into 2.0. so patch is welcomed.
hmm, changing the target 2.0, so we see this issue. If the patch is *huge* or affects many things, please change the target back to 2.0.1.
For me the problem exists inside the UI.xcu file of OOo. And further it seams to be a problem of the localized version of this file. a) All Calc filters exists and are useable. You can open calc documents without problems. b) All calc filters will be shown within the FileSave dialog and you can define a default filter inside "Tools-Options-Load/Save General". The difference between FileOpen and FileSave dialog is the mentioned UI.xcu file. There is a special feature of the FileOpen dialog. Against the filters we show filter- groups e.g. "StarCalc 3.0 - 5.0". And these groups are defined inside the UI.xcu file. Further the code is written in the way, that an exception will be catched and ignored ! Fallback handling cant be done then, because the fallback handling has to be done at the place where the exception was thrown ... As a result of that the complete calc section disappears.
I've found the problem: The filter "Microsoft Word 2003 XML" was translated (which btw. isnt relay necessary!) with "Microsoft Excel 2003 XML" .-) And this wrong translation exists for JA only. This conflicts with the feature of the FileOpen Dialog: "no entry can exists twice". So an exception is thrown if the real "Microsoft Excel 2003 XML" will be tried to be added inside this dialog. BTW: The same problem occures on windows ... but there you have another dialog implementation. And this implementation doesnt drop all calc filters. This implementation drops only the last 3 filters. So you will get 18 of 21 possible calc filters listed. AS->IVO: Please correct the filter translation for the file "filter/source/ config/fragments/filters/Microsoft_Word_2003_XML_ui.xcu" only for the locale JA from "Microsoft Excel 2003 XML" to "Microsoft Word 2003 XML". THX.
