Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 68352
German English ?
Last modified: 2009-04-23 14:23:00 UTC
The English in the recovery dialog is sufficiently strained to be noticably broken [ I have an internal bug filed about this ]. The attached patch cleans up at least those parts that we see; Any chance it can be fed into the i18n system (however that works ? :-) Thanks.
Created attachment 38420 [details] patch
The patch depends on the one attached to the issue #65325. Anyway, I think that they should be commited at once.
Ivo: who is approving changes in en-US strings? iano?
lutz, for you?
I am not sure if Liz would be happy about the summary, because as one of our native (English) speakers she did the English version of these messages. ;-) But anyway, I agree to most of the proposed changes, with one exception. In my opinion, the "will now start to recover" piece is plain wrong. In German and in English. At the time the user reads this sentence, the recovery process is already running. In many cases the process is done before the user has finished reading. So I would like to have a different wording here. Christian, please can you make all this go into the right spec and forward it to engineering?
CJ->FL: Please have a look at this issue. I think this could be fixed together with the rewording of the "cancel" button.
changed component, drawing is obviously wrong
Frank, Christian, please make sure that this fairly trivial patch is either accepted or rejected for 2.3. I don't see any reason why this should last any longer.
FL->AS: We should integrate this fix without changes and without the proposed button text changes, because we have already agreed to talk about the current document recovery process for the next major release. Then we could solve other open issues like dialog modality which is currently blocking OOo and sometimes unwanted recovery of document files.
Michael, are you fine with Frank's change not to change the text of the button?
mba - sure; the button changes were suggested as an extension bu cj; getting the patch in as-is sounds perfect :-) Thanks.
AS->mmeeks: I've added your patch to cws [ fwk66 ] ... but your base 1.14 was a little bit outdated .-) So I've applied the patch manually ... and not completely. As you can see inside the source the resource "STR_RECOVERYONLY_DESCR" does not exists any longer. It was replaced by another patch send by kendy. see issue #65325# for further information
thanks; much appreciated :-)
AS->TM: Please verify this issue on cws [fwk66]. THX.
.
checked and verified in cws fwk66 -> OK !
