Need info on sd/source/ui/accessibility.po for l10n

l10n
#1

Hi all,

We (l10n team) need some information for localization purpose.
In libo43_ui/sd/source/ui/accessibility.po, some strings in the form of
PresentationOutlinerShape
UnknownAccessiblePresentationShape

Few of our languages support this sort of notation where there is a mix
of capitals in one attached word. How should we translate that, are we
allowed to separate the words (add spaces or underscores) and remove the
capitals? Where does it appears in the UI?

Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Sophie

Thanks, Sophie, for taking this to the dev list, as I got no response
on the l10n one.
To make it short: can we use this notation in translations:
Presentation_outliner_shape
or even use spaces:
Presentation outliner shape?

Thanks, m.

Looking at where they get used, they are the accessibility descriptions
for the things they describe, presentation pages and notes and so on. So
you'd need an accessibility tool to hear them read out as you select
them in the UI. Anyway, it looks completely safe to separate them with
spaces and remove the capitals etc, and just format them as natural for
your language. We should probably separate them in the English version
too.

Thanks a lot for your feedback and clear explanation :slight_smile:
