Bug Description

When saving an existing file in openoffice.org writer with Czech
language support, the window that asks you if you want to
overwrite the old file is not completely translated. The choices
"No" and "Yes" are in English, which can lead to errors if you
are working quickly, because the Czech word for "Yes" is
"Ano" which can look like "No" when in a hurry.

The source does seem to have translations for these (vcl/source/src/localize.sdf):

vcl source\src\btntext.src 0 string SV_BUTTONTEXT_YES 13691 cs Ano 2002-02-02 02:02:02
vcl source\src\btntext.src 0 string SV_BUTTONTEXT_NO 13691 cs Ne 2002-02-02 02:02:02

Chris, any idea why these aren't being used?

What does running locale in a terminal say for your computer? I want to make sure I set up my machine properly so I can verify it against the official upstream version of OOo.

Thanks,

I run OpenOffice in Czech. The only other place where
I noticed buttons in English is in the open file window
(see Screenshot Otevrit). Most other places the buttons
are in Czech, for example the one asking about Ascii
filters. I've included these screenshots.

By the way, this occurs on three different machines, in
Gutsy, Hardy Beta and Feisty.

Do you still have this problem with openoffice.org 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2 in Ubuntu 8.04?

I have latest OO in Ubuntu 8.04. Everything is completely fine. The problem is in Michael Losonsky's computer. You can see in his open dialog items like "Recently Used", "Search", "Desktop", etc. All these strings are translated into Czech when using Czech locale. His language support is not installed right.

Since all his locales are en_US.UTF-8, it is absolutely obvious that these string are not translated. Because file open and save dialogs are used from the system itself (Gnome) and are not OO specific.

He may be using OO in Czech, but if he has the whole rest of system in English, it is no wonder he has file dialogs shown in English.

Michael, use System → Administration → Language Support, make sure Czech is checked. After that on login screen set Czech as your default language and log in. All your system should be in Czech including those file dialogs.

I propose to close this bug as invalid, because this is clearly not a bug in OO but Michael's problem.
