Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 100964
Wrong Help text in CALC 'Calculating With Dates and Times'
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:48:33 UTC
This defect concerns the German help-content [de] Auf der Hilfeseite "Rechnen mit Datums- und Uhrzeitwerten" fand ich heute folgenden Fehler: Im Text steht unter 5. : Der Dialog Zellen formatieren wird angezeigt. Im Register Zahlen ist die Kategorie *Zahl* bereits hervorgehoben. Das Format ist auf "Allgemein" gesetzt. Fehler: In dem genannte Dialog gibts es in der Kategorie "Zahl" keinen Punkt "Allgemein". Warscheinlich sollte dort der Punkt "Standard" stehen.
I checked with "Ooo 3.1.0 RC1 multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [OOO310m9 (Build 9396)]" and can confirm the reported effect. Not a Translation issue, see the same problem with "Ooo 3.1.0 RC1 multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [OOO310m9 (Build 9396)]" (Help says "General" instead of "Standard". You find the wrong text in 'Welcome to the OpenOffice.org Calc Help' -> 'Instructions for Using OpenOffice.org Calc' -> 'Calculating With Dates and Times'

Still see the wrong text in "Ooo Dev 3.2.0 multilingual version German UI WIN XP: [DEV300m44 (Build 9395)]"
To be fixed in English source file scalc/guide/calc_date.xhp
In English source, I see the text "The format is set to "General"", which is correct. In German, "general" should be translated by "Standard" if that is what you see on the Numbers tab page. -->translation error
@ufi: I can't see any reason to use the word "General" in Help, although the UI text for that selection is "Standard", as you see in "screenshots.pdf". I still see the difference as a mistake.

Why this issue is on owner coni? As I could see, this issue could be fixed in help content only. So I changed it back to ufi. On the other side OOo 3.2 is in show-stopper stage and only critical issue will be accepted anymore. This issue will be targeted to OOo 3.3.
This still is a translation issue. English Help is correct, German Help is not. See attached screenshot. You must set the default locale to US English if you want to QA the English Help.

@ufi UI term "General" differs from my "screenshots2.pdf" and my current experience, 320m2 shows "Standard" in the pulldown. Has that been changed?
QA tells me that this has always been like it is today: in English version, with en-US locale, the term is General. in German version, with de locale, the term is Standard. Change the locale on Tools-Options-Language Settings-Languages to English (USA) in all list boxes.
> in English version, with en-US locale, the term is General Yes, indeed, my 320m2 is an en-US version showing "Standard" in UI / dialog 'Format Cells - Numbers - Language' for many languages (incl. German and English (Namibia, Soth Africa)), for others like all remaining English () "General". So I agree that seems to be a translation issue.
OOo 3.3 is nearly final. I change the target of this issue to OOo 3.x. Please find a solution and set a correct target, if you know when a fix can be integrated.
