Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 39762
wrong german translation for 'non-breaking hyphen'
Last modified: 2024-02-02 17:54:39 UTC
This refers to the German version of OOo and perhabs it belongs to de-component. In 'Configure menu' and in 'Customize toolbar buttons' there are the terms (1) 'Geschützen Trenner einfügen' (which is 'Insert Non-breaking Hyphen' in English version) (2) 'Weichen Trenner einfügen' (which is 'Insert Optional Hyphen' in English version). In the Helptext it is called (1) Geschützter Bindestrich (2) Bedingtes Trennzeichen I know, that in Unicode it is (1) 'non-breaking hyphen' and (2) 'soft hyphen'. But I suggest to change the terms in 'Configure menu' and 'Customize toolbar button' for two reasons: - The terms should be consistent in different parts of OOo. - We use different words for the use of the divis for composition and for separation in German. For composition we use 'Bindestrich' and for separation we use 'Trennungsstrich' or sometimes 'Trennstrich' or 'Trennungszeichen'. So it should be (1) Geschützten Bindestrich einfügen (2) Bedingtes Trennzeichen einfügen
SBA->LIZ: Confirmed. The different UI entries can be seen in the same dialog: (Affects german UI only, so I'll tell the way via german UI) Via menu: Extras-Anpassen (1) Select tab "Keyboard" In the Box "Tastenkombinationen" see entry "Strg+minus" -> "Weichen Trenner einfügen" (2) Tab "Symbolleisten", click "Hinzufügen" - in "Bereich", choose "Einfügen" -> In the box "Befehle", the entry is "Geschützten Trenner einfügen"
Thank you for pointing out this terminology error. Accepting task.
liz->os: please correct the German as follows Gesch�zten Trenner einf�gen ---> Gesch�zten Bindestrich einf�gen Weichen Trenner einf�gen ---> Bedingtes Trennzeichen einf�gen
> Gesch�zten Trenner einf�gen ---> Gesch�zten Bindestrich einf�gen > Weichen Trenner einf�gen ---> Bedingtes Trennzeichen einf�gen The (necessary!) change could be done otherwise too! In the OpenOffice-Help (and its index), in the menu Extras-Anpassen-Tastatur (and everywhere) could be written "Weichen Trenner einfügen/ Trennhilfe einfügen/ Bedingtes Trennzeichen einfügen" (all the three possibilities - this helps to find, what one is looking for) and "Geschützten Bindestrich einfügen".
May be fix for this one should wait until fix for "Issue 124593 - Unify wording Dash ↔ Hyphen" has been done
