Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 88470
Default lang not used when needed in localized dialogs
Last modified: 2014-01-31 10:27:05 UTC
I am currently testing a multi-lingual extension : MultiPages, see next attachment. It contains dialogs localized to German, English(default), French, Spanish. If I set the UI language to one of these languages, the dialog strings are in the correct language. If I set the UI language to Italian (there is no localized strings for this language) the dialogs appear in German ! They should appear in English. How to reproduce (needs OOo 2.4.0 or later): Set UI to English Install the extension MultiPages. Open a new Calc document. Open Tools > Add-on > Page handling > Display sheet : dialog strings are in english Set UI to a language different from en, fr, de, es. Example : Italian Close OpenOffice. Open a new Calc document. Open Tools > Add-on > Page handling > Display sheet : dialog strings are in german
Created attachment 53028 [details] Extension for Calc, Draw, Impress. Needs OOo 2.4.0 minimum
Confirmed on OOo 2.4.1 with Kubuntu 8.04 (spanish): An extension with English(default), Spanish and German shows the correct language among these. If I set OOo UI language to Portuguese(Brazil), the extension shows up in Spanish, not in the default English.
Confirmed on OOo 3.0.0 m9 (Build 9358) with Kubuntu 8.04 (spanish): An extension with English(default), Spanish and German shows the correct language among these. I set OOo UI language now to Dutch (Netherlands), and the extension still shows up in Spanish, not in the default English.
P.D.: In both, OOo 2.4 and 3.0, even though the extension wrongly shows up in Spanish, the extension help shows up in English, as expected.
