Hi
Is there some debugging feature that will allow you to see the Weblate descriptor codes for the
strings in the UI of LO?
If yes, it could help to find a specific string that is wrong in the translated UI.
A specific example:
The English term "number" can be used in at least two different ways. "Number" can indicate the
type of number (1, 2, 3, 3.14, etc.) rather than for instance a text string. But "Number" can also
be used in the sense of counting, as in "the number of objects". In Danish, these two ways should
be translated differently (as "tal" in the first sense, and as "antal" in the second sense, if you
are curious).
Now, the Danish Calc UI has the wrong sense in the case of the data type of a cell: "Antal", where
it should be "Tal". Both "Antal" and "Tal" are valid words, so searching for the word gives me
several hits where the source string is simply "Number". Both translations can be correct,
depending on the context, so it is not obvious which one should be corrected.
In fact, looking at the Norwegian, Swedish and German translations, I am by now quite sure that it
is the string with code "YPFu3" that I should correct. But is there a way to start or set up Calc
such that the code strings are visible to me from the UI? This would have helped me a lot.
Regards,
Lars
