l10n@2.0: New document format names
Elizabeth Matthis posted
a
small note for translators about new document formats and their proposed translations. Here are
important excerpts:
The default file format for OpenOffice.org 2.0 will be called "Open Document Format for Office
Applications" (see
meeting minutes
of The OASIS Open Office XML Format TC). The short-name form is
OpenDocument. This
short-name is used very often in the OpenOffice.org and is not to be translated!
Elizabeth suggests the document type itself to be localized (e.g. "OpenDocument spreadsheet" =
"OpenDocument Tabellendokument" in German). All names of document format types are listed in the
specification.
Please follow this suggestion while translating to your language.
