LibreOffice desktop entries up for translation

[Tom Davies]

Yes.  Several.  Frustration and anger are natural given that.

On the +ve side the finished complete product (Ubuntu) will be 'god enough' and 
released on time.  The 1st update will add things like this that have had to be 
left out and more since people are constantly developing and working hard to 
improve things.  Hopefully with the next release we will work with LibreOffice 
better as there were complexities this time that will have been resolved.  
Perhaps more people will be motivated to help the packaging process.

We aim at excellence, not perfection.  Hmm, ok so we do often aim at perfection 
but it's an unrealistic target and we have to meet that those target dates.

Compare this to other products where release dates keep getting put further and 
further back and the initial release is still not 'perfect' is late, botched and 
the 1st update fixes almost nothing and people don't feel motivated to meet 
those deadlines.

LibreOffice is very new.  It's organisation is still undergoing constant 
restructuring and rapid growth.  LO is on an aggressive development schedule 
after years of stagnation and splitting off into forks which have started to 
re-merge with LibreOffice main now.  


Good luck and many regards from
Tom :)

So they are left untranslated as using the translations would have requred more 
work? Am I missing the point here?

Hi Timo,

Björn, the LibreOffice maintainer tells me that this would have meant
more modifications in the code and he decided to postpone it. I'm
including him on CC in case you want to discuss this further or in case
he wants to add anything.

Cheers,
David.
