Hello all,
Need a little help to export from odt to pdf the translated to italian wg; problem is fields (cross references) regarding figures are not exported properly; for instance the sentence "see figure 10" becomes "see 10" and the word figure is lost.

I have tried different libo versions (kubuntu 14.04 libo 4.2.8(?) - winxp libo 4.2.2 - winxp libo 3.6.7 - lubuntu 15.04 libo 4.4.2), but the only one that works is libo 3.5.4 on debian old-stable.
As I'd like to update my debian old-stable... :slight_smile: anyone can help on this? Could you tell me what is used to export english guides, as I've seen the problem does not exist for these guides.

Also searched for bugs; just found this one, but I doubt it's the same problem:

Thank you :slight_smile:

Print the odf document from Writer using the CUPS pdf printer. This will
give you a pdf of the document.

Hi,

I had the same problem in translating the LO Getting Strated guide using
OmegaT to Slovak. I solved it 'manually'. In OmegaT a string with Figure
reference being translated looks like this:

The technical names for common controls are shown in <t1>Figure 1</t1>:
Názvy bežných ovládacích prvkov sú uvedené na obrázku <t1>1</t1>:

Instead of keeping translation 'obrázku' of 'Figure' inside the t1 tags,
I moved it outside. This worked well. It is possible that LO should be
able translate Figure inside the tags automatically (because of change
of language settings), but aparently this does not work (a bug?). I did
no go deeper into it, since automatic translation would not be useful
for me anyway, since the translation shoud be declinated according to
its context.

cheers
Milos

Thank you Mark,
I tried but that doesn't work all the same; the problem is created when the document is re-formatted, before exporting (or printing); infact, having a look at the odt file after export, it's changed too (the word "figure" has disappeared).
Thank you! :slight_smile:

Thank you Martin,
That's a good workaround, I tried that, but, at least in my case, that deletes the cross reference too... (also figure numbers loose the reference, though they remain inside the tags)... I'd like to avoid that if possible...

I'm going to try last libo release, to see if developers solved this bug.
Thank you! :slight_smile:
