Request for comments with some terms

l10n
#1

I am translating lo-build.po these days, and there are some terms I do not
understand or confused and not know where the context is. Please help me.

I would like to know what they exactly mean and where I can find those
strings (Please use Writer > Edit menu > XXX to describe if you know where
it is.)

They are:

1. Distributed
2. Justify ==> There is a "justified" already, are they the same?
3. Repeat alignment ==> I know alignment, but "Repeat alignment"?
4. Ignore isolated pieces of length
5. Numbertext ==> To numberize text or something else?
6. Watch Window
7. Toolbar for "*Graphite smart font*" features => What is Graphite smart
font?

And one more question, is "LanguageTool" translatable in "LanguageTool Open
Source language checker" string?

If the future version can have message context or comments for translation
strings, that will be very useful!

Hi,

1. Distributed
2. Justify ==> There is a "justified" already, are they the same?
3. Repeat alignment ==> I know alignment, but "Repeat alignment"?

These strings are not used anywhere. I searched
http://opengrok.go-oo.org/ for their IDs and they are not referenced
from the source. Correct me, if I'm wrong...

4. Ignore isolated pieces of length

Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Comparison
See also the help page for this panel.

5. Numbertext ==> To numberize  text or something else?

See http://www.numbertext.org/

6. Watch Window

See http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/watchwindow

7. Toolbar for "*Graphite smart font*" features => What is Graphite smart
font?

See http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/typo

And one more question, is "LanguageTool" translatable in "LanguageTool Open
Source language checker" string?

No, LanguageTool is the name of the extension.

If the future version can have message context or comments for translation
strings, that will be very useful!

Unfortunately source file format currently does not support message
context or comments. Feel free to ask any time, it may be helpful for
other teams, too.

Best regards,
Andras

Maybe difficult to do, due to the vastity of the application and strings, but
very useful indeed.

I would be good to add the capability.
It can be gradually implemented afterwards, so no real difficulty there.
Perhaps trying to do a bit every time the context is questioned ?
