Hi, sorry for cross-posting;
Just stumbled upon a severe inconsistency in libo50_help/shared.po; Bézier-points in a smoothed line (called smooth transition in LibO) are sometimes referred to as "round points" [#. jEEYP and #. zrzrx] and sometimes as "smooth points" [#. rs4eN].
In Inkscape those are "smooth nodes" (not sure if node/point will confuse users, just keep it consistent).
IMHO we should use "smooth points" in all those messages, and preferably we should change "Smooth transition" [#. wfmrx] and "Symmetric transition" [#. 7TELH] to "Smooth curve" and Symmetric curve" - or even just plain simply "Smooth point" and Symmetric point"
The UI-part of the messages in question resides in libo50_ui/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI.po
Anyone have an opinion?
Should I file a bug? Tagged how?
Best regards,
Sveinn í Felli
