I've tested this on 3.3RC4/Final on Windows XP, and it seems strange that it would be translated as "Fil" when "Arkiv" is the standard in pretty much any application and desktop environment ever.
Is there a reason for this translation, or is it just a simple case of find/replace gone wrong?

Hoping this is the right place to report this :slight_smile:

Hi,

The bulk of LibreOffice translations still comes from OpenOffice.org; <http://pootle.services.openoffice.org>

Did a quick search in OOo-pootle for "filer"/"filen":

"All files (*.*)" = "Alla filer (*.*)"

"The format of the selected file is not supported." = "Formatet på den valda filen stöds inte."

On the other hand "Arkiv" is used for "Archive" (as in a .zip archive) and maybe also for archived documents.

So, there may have been a language-political consensus in the Swedish OOo translation team to use one word but not the other. Guess you should contact the swedish translation-teams for OOo [2][3] and LibO [1]. You can easily participate :wink:
