Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Strange Swedish translation of "File" in the menubar

Yeah, I had a look at OpenOffice.org 3.3 RC10 and it seems the change is in there as well. I wonder 
what the reasoning behind this is... 
I'll try my luck on the Swedish mailing list, thanks for the pointers!

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 ;-)
