Re: Fwd: [libreoffice-l10n] Unclear new strings to translate

Hi,
I've checked the code. These strings are defined in file
./sw/inc/inspectorproperties.hrc:

#define NC_(Context, String) reinterpret_cast<char const *>(Context
"\004" u8##String)

/*--------------------------------------------------------------------
    Description: API names for Paragraph, Character
    and Text cursor properties
 --------------------------------------------------------------------*/

// Format names
#define RID_BORDER_DISTANCE                                
NC_("RID_ATTRIBUTE_NAMES_MAP", "Border Distance")
#define RID_BOTTOM_BORDER                                  
NC_("RID_ATTRIBUTE_NAMES_MAP", "Bottom Border")
#define RID_BOTTOM_BORDER_DISTANCE                 
NC_("RID_ATTRIBUTE_NAMES_MAP", "Bottom Border Distance")

(217 of them)


Is it sure that a user can see these strings somewhere in a translated form?

If yes, then we need to know structure of these strings (they do not
seem to be sentences) and how are they presented, since many of them
have 'cryptic" form like

Fill Bitmap Rectangle Point
Char Interoperability Grab Bag
Char Weight Complex


Milos
