Tested build: CWS:localization35 2nd build In Writer, "Insert > Drawing Object" and "Format > Drawing Object" should be displayed, but the translated "Object" appears in Japanese. officecfg registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\UI\GenericCommands.xcu 0 value ..GenericCommands.UserInterface.Popups..uno:ObjectMenu Label 0 en-US Drawing ~Object 2002-02-02 02:02:02 officecfg registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\UI\GenericCommands.xcu 0 value ..GenericCommands.UserInterface.Popups..uno:ObjectMenu Label 0 ja 図形描画オブジェクト(~O) 2002-02-02 02:02:02 When running OOo in English locale, "Insert > Object" and "Format > Object" are displayed. These message were changed in 3.1 from "Object" to "Drawing Object", but "Object" still appears in English. If "Drawing Object" needs to be displayed in 3.1, I think that this is an integration issue.
Same in Korean version.
I have one question. I see that it makes sense to change 'Format > Object' to 'Format > Drawing Object'. But should 'Insert > Object' be changed to 'Insert > Drawing Object'? Considering the sub-menu items such as OLE object, plug-in... etc, 'Insert > Object' seems to be more reasonable. Am I missing something here?
Please see this specification: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/MinorMenuAdjustments Also, the message "Object" for "Format > Object" and "Insert > Object" has the same message ID, so if "Object" is changed to "Drawing Object", these menus should be changed.
Ah... I see. Thanks for the info, yuko!
The problem is just the other way round, please see fixed issue 98786!
Does it mean that the Format menu is not changed in OOo 3.1? In short, "Insert > Object" and "Format > Object" are displayed in OOo 3.1, right?
I checked with "Ooo 3.0.1 (DE) Multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [OOO300m15 (Build 9379)]" (fix for issue 64127 seems to be notincluded?): Menu 'Insert -> Drawing Object' is wrong, correct would be 'Insert -> Object' Menu 'Format -> Drawing Object' is correct, because it's only for drawing objects, not for OLE objects or pictures. I checked with "Ooo 3.0.1 (DE) Multilingual version GERMAN UI WIN XP: [OOO300m15 (Build 9379)]" Menu 'Einfügen -> Objekt' is ok, because it is for several different object types Menu 'Format -> Objekt' is not wrong for drawing objects, which also are objects, but a better text would be 'Format -> Zeichnungsobjekt', because it is only for drawing objects. In "Ooo 3.0.1 (DE) Multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [OOO300m15 (Build 9379)]" the situation is different: Menu 'Insert -> Object' is correct Menu 'Format -> Objekt' is acceptable for drawing objects, which also are objects, but a better text would be 'Format -> Drawing Objects' "Ooo 3.0.1 (DE) Multilingual version GERMAN UI WIN XP: [OOO300m15 (Build 9379)]": Menu 'Einfügen -> Objekt' is ok, because it is for several different object types Menu 'Format -> Objekt' is acceptable drawing objects, which also are objects, but a better text would be 'Format -> Zeichnungsobjekt', because it is only for drawing objects. So currently the reported translation bug concerning "Insert > Drawing Object" translation does not exist. But all this makes me doubt that everything is ok with English texts, it might be that there is common access to the same text for really different use. I will leave a comment in Issue 98786
