Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 116639
print dialog in German build is much too wide & has wrong resources
Last modified: 2022-10-28 12:54:14 UTC
Open "File - Print" and you will see ... same in Calc works in Draw and Impress
Cannot reproduce. Nothing special. please report issues correctly: add screenshots, explain what you see...
Sorry, here are more details and two screenshots: OOo300m98, engl. with german lang.-pack, default options After your hint I removed the german language pack and it works as expected in english version.
Created attachment 75675 [details] Screenshot Writer
Created attachment 75676 [details] Screenshot Impress
Please add the document you were trying to print. Maybe it is related to that.
No special document. I open a new writer document, insert dummy text from writer AutoText (in german version I type "bt" and press "F3") and open print dialog. Same behavior if I open a new writer doc without inserting dummy text and open print dialog. Same procedure in Calc: I open a new calc spreadsheet, type 5 into any cell to get a printable spreadsheet and open print dialog. Same procedure in Draw or Impess: I open a new document and open print dialog but there it works as expected.
Actually this comes from changed UI strings in writer (and calc and math I believe); until there is new localization the wrong strings will be taken for the controls (since the list of strings that makes up the localization for this dialog has changed and they are now in a different order) making the controls grow to fit the text. This will be repaired when the stringlist gets translated.
Closed; as the screenshot shows, the UI resources are mixed up. The updated language pack must be used.
Reopening issue, problem occurs in German language pack.
MRU->PL: the print dialog looks as shown on screenshot. There seem to be wrong resources on the "Seitenlayout" tab page. IHI claims himself innocent and isn't able to fix this with issue 116651.

Whatever ivo does do or not, he does not translate the string list in the writer resource that causes this problem. This has to happen to solve the problem. It will happen when translation for 3.4 gets integrated. And that's that.
closing
I reopen this issue, because it is important to see for the L10N teams, that they have to do some work, to fix this issue. By the way, Ivo could you check, if there is all correct with the strings lists for the printer dialog from L10N perspective, please. Therefore I set the issue to you. I also set keyword 'regression' for this issue. This should highlight, that this is an important broken functionality, which have to be fixed for OOo 3.4. More details about the effects of this problem can be found in a report by Serg Bormant : http://openoffice.org/projects/l10n/lists/dev/archive/2011-04/message/14 How the L10N teams can fix this issue : Rafaella Braconi wrote in http://openoffice.org/projects/l10n/lists/dev/archive/2011-04/message/12 : "Just to be more specific. In order to see this issue fixed, following files/strings need to be translated: vcl/source/src.po sw/source/ui/config.po ID STR_PRINTOPTUI sc/source/ui/src.po ID SCSTR_PRINT_OPTIONS starmath/source.po ID RID_PRINTUIOPTIONS I encourage all language teams to make sure this files are translated to guarantee functionality."

The behavior which I described above and which is shown at the screenshots is not the same as issue 117738 and not present in Dev300m106. The width of the dialog is ok now. But now there are new faults as I described in issue 117738.

I can confirm the same issue occurs in the Catalan localisation of LibreOffice 3.4.2 [OOO340m1 (Build:1206)]
Created attachment 76890 [details] Screenshot of print dialogue under Catalan l10n Screenshot showing the problem (half the print options are missing). Incidentally, I am not sure about the "Trivial" importance given to this bug, as it is a serious showstopper for anyone using an affected localisation.
Works for me in AOO 3.4 I've tested at last in Rev 130 3653 So status should be set to "Fixed" and it is no longer a blocker for 3.4 :-)

I also confirm it for Finnish lang pack. As for missing of print options I created issue: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119120 Please comfirm it on that page.
changed status regarding comment #22
Hi sorath and RCat, please have a look at my attached sreenshots, which shows what "much too wide" means. The bug you describe and wich is shown on your screenshot are missing tab pane and missing print options as described in bug 117738.
It seems that for unknown reason there is in file sw/source/ui/config.po lot of translated lines so that tooltip text are inserted as every second line. Result is that this long tooltip text are shown in print dialog/window and make its extreme broad /wide. This I can see in Finnish Apache Pootle. But I can only make "Ehdota" (Suggestion?) as "nobody" because Apache do not give me rights to make corrections in Pootle. Not even to my own translations. And I even don't know if there is anybody who understand Finnish and have those rights. I must say that not even Oracle have this kind of burocrazy. Greetings Risto
Closed, I didn't find any problem. Regards
