[libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Re: Re: Untranslated strings in Labels and Business Cards dialog

Hi :)
A few days ago i asked if anyone here was good at administrative work
and wanted to give more time to LibreOffice.

As it turns out there is already 1 person working on the list of
labels.  Also feedback suggested that some people still record on
tape-cassettes rather than usb or Cd/Dvd and might still like to
print-out labels for them.  I always avoided that and just wrote the
name directly onto the cassette itself and then got rid of the
card/paper insert in the case.  Invariably the cases broke at the
hinge or smash or warped entirely and it was rare to find the right
tape in the right box anyway.  Same for Cds/Dvds.

Anyway, there are still a lot of Avery (and their predecessors and
competitors) labels that are no longer available so keeping them in as
options just makes the list too long and confusing.

Personally i only tried them out a few times (in MSO though) and found
them so unreliable that nowadays if i ever need that sort of thing i
make my own tables and run a couple of test-prints on plain paper and
then another on one sheet of the labels.  So i wouldn't mind if the
whole lot was dumped but i just know that some MS fans would use that
as an excuse so it's better if we do have them imo.

Regards from
Tom :)
