Thanks, this one is playing with me since a long time, I change it, it
comes back, change it again, comes back... For information, there is
the same string under the right click.

With me too.

Looks like something's broken with Pootle's update function:
sometimes previously translated strings get lost with update,
sometimes wrong translation is assigned to them (like in the case above),
sometimes they are set to fuzzy for no good reason...

Speaking of fuzzies... I recently discovered that translating a string,
marking it as fuzzy and then submitting it does *not* leave the string as
fuzzy,
even though it is displayed in italics and all.
It works when the translation is first submitted and then marked as fuzzy,
though.

So, Pootle users, be( a)ware.

Best regards,
Mihkel

Hi Mihkel,

Hi all,

Hi Sophie, Sergio, Adolfo

String "Outline" located in File:cui/uiconfig/ui.po, with KeyID
"=m+]" is actually the drawing of the border of the character.

The string is found in Writer - Format - Character - Font Effects

So, Contour/Contorno/Contorno is my best guess.

Well, I'm not translating on Pootle, so the mistake might be on my side
and not on Pootle side :slight_smile: However, it would be good to narrow the issues
you mentioned and report them one by one when you (or others) meet them
so we have a chance to fix Pootle with the help of the Pootle team.

Kind regards
Sophie
