Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Conclusion about "Translation help for unit 40270452"?

Hi :)
Yes, i like that too.  In English perhaps tweaked to this?  

"
The ODF 1.2 Extended (compat) mode is a more backward-compatible format.  It uses features that are 
deprecated in "ODF 1.2 (Extended)" and/or it is 'bug-compatible' to older OpenOffice.org versions.  
It may be useful, if you need to interchange ODF documents with users, who use pre-ODF 1.2 (such as 
ODF 1.0 or ODF 1.1) legacy applications or ODF 1.2-only current applications.
"

> From what i understood, but i could easily be wrong ...
1.  OpenOffice also uses the ODF 1.2 (Extended) doesn't it?  So there is no need to use a 
compatibility format if you are sharing documents with people using any version of AOO or with 
people using OOo 3.0 or maybe even slightly earlier.  You might need it for much earlier versions 
of OOo.  

2.  Most programs using 1.2 will be "current" rather than "legacy".  Most wont have the "Extended" 
features of LibreOffice but will still be "current".  (hence why i deleted "legacy" from the end of 
that last sentence.  In English it looks like it's referring to 1.2 apps as being "legacy".  

3.  MS Office 2007 and 2010 are examples of legacy apps that use ODF 1.1 but it's a good idea to 
avoid mentioning MS at all.  The hints are enough (hopefully).  


So i think Andras' suggestion is good enough but a little tweaking makes it more precise?  
Regards from 
Tom :)
