Application Macros

l10n
#1

Hi, all,

with LO74 the command and entity "%PRODUCTNAME Macros" in the menus and
macros hierarchy is being replaced by "Application Macros" (because of
avoiding calling the %PRODUCTNAME values in the UI strings all the time).
Same goes with "%PRODUCTNAME Macros and Dialogs".

I am a bit confused by this new title. Isn't LibreOffice an office suite
and not an application? Its modules (Writer, Calc, ...) are
programs/applications ... Also, macros can be considered applications
themselves ... At least in Slovenian verbatim translation of this strings
doesn't make much sense.

I am considering translating it as "Makri LibreOffice" (aka "LibreOffice
Macros"), hard-coding the LibreOffice string in there, because this is
actually what they are (these built-in macros do not change with other
vendors' office suite versions).

How do other l10n teams localize this string?

Lp, m.

I decided to translate it as "Makra aplikace". I agree that it is ambiguous, but I think that still better than mixing "LibreOffice" with possibly different product name (I perceive that macros as related to a particular software installation).
