Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Default-Labels in Libre-Office (Writer)

Hi Michael,

thank you for the answer - may be I should clarify that I did not post
on this list because I wanted anybody to change something - I posted on
this list because I thought may be someone can help me understand the
whole text thingy a little better.

Yes, I know that the file dialogs are provided by the operating system,
but if I am not mistaken, some aspects of the dialog (window title,
field labels, ...) are parameterized by LO.

The missing "File type:" label on linux (gnome) may well be a gtk
error, in any case, this would be the wrong list (I just thought maybe
someone knows about that probleme (or if that is intentional) - it's a
missing text after all (I did not find any bug mentioning that missing
text)).

Thanks again and happy new year,
Martin
