If this ever was to get implemented, it would have to be well thought
through. At the moment you can get away with strings like "Open in %s" which
then turns into "Open in LO Writer" and it looks ok even in many heavily
inflected languages but then moment something like Spreadsheet becomes
"Cliath-dhuilleag" (in Scots Gaelic in my case), then it gets complicated
because depending on the context, that would have to show up as
"Chliath-dhuilleag" "Cliath-duilleige" and "Chliath-dhuilleige".

So far, I haven't come across a l10n project that takes morphology beyong
plural rules and though I'd really really love more morphology rules, I
suspect they might be long in the coming. So even if "Spredsheet" was up for
translation I suspect I would stick with the English term for now.


Just a remark: in KDE there is something called pology which is specially
for such languages which have many cases. But so far IMO only a few
languages are using this...



My tuppence worth :)

le meas,

Michael

Gnome, VLC, Openshot,... obviously are product names, and obviously
shouldn't be translated.
The same thing goes for "LibreOffice"; that clearly shouldn't be
translated.

"Writer?", "Base?",... I guess most groups decided that they should keep
them, but some DID translate those, so: "Why do we have this discussion at
all?", obviously 'cause it's not clear at all and I understand that
Marketing, Translating and Steering should decide about it and tell all
translators. I think that's the wise thing to do.
