[libreoffice-documentation] Fw: Re: [libreoffice-users] Which template categories are built-in, how to name custom ones?

[Tom Davies <tomdavies04@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi :)
Looks like Regina managed to find a simple solution for the op which neatly avoids doign any work to the categories and stuff.

So, please ignore my previous post with this subject-line.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, those are defined in 
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sfx2/source/doc/doctempl.src
They are translated via the normal translation process via po-file.

There has also been a file groupuinames.xml in the template folder.

Have you already searched for "Etiketten"? That should find only few 
file candidates.

Yes. I guess you will deploy such a template package.

If only you want a nice name, do not use the way to generate a new 
category via File > Templates > Organize. But simply create a sub-folder 
in the templates folder. It will be recognized when restart. The folder 
name is directly used as template category, at least on WinXP. Keep in 
mind, that sub-sub-folder is not possible.

Kind regards
Regina
