"OOO_VENDOR"on Help About

Had the same issue in the Italian version several times (query IssueZilla). It
is a localization problem, due to wrong syntax in (Japanese) translated strings.
It is language-specific.

Thanks, pescetti.

yuko: Can you take a look?

With zh_TW language pack, it says "OOO_VENDOR"

on MacOSX PPC and Intel,
I set 
--with-vendor=\"OpenOffice.org Mac OS X porting project\"
and it works at configure stage
> checking for vendor... OpenOffice.org Mac OS X porting project
still happens on my Mac PPC.

I am afraid that I do not think that this is translation issue.

   svx/source/intro/makefile.mk
        # setting the compiled by $user$ string in the About box
        OOO_VENDOR*=$(USER)$(USERNAME)
        RSCDEFS+=-DOOO_VENDOR="$(OOO_VENDOR)"

   svx/source/intro/ooo.src
        Text[ en-US ] ="Copyright 2000-2008 Sun Microsystems Inc.\nThis product
has been
        created by " OOO_VENDOR " based on OpenOffice.org.\nOpenOffice.org
acknowledges
        all community members, especially those mentioned at 
       http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/credits.html.";

I think that OOO_VENDOR is a parameter and should be replaced with an
appropriate string
at a build time, however, it does not seem to work currenctly. Is " OOO_VENDOR "
a correct syntac in the English message? In Ja and zh_TW, 「OOO_VENDOR」 is used.
If it is changed to 「 OOO_VENDOR 」, does it work?
Otherwise, please check if OOO_VENDOR is defined correctly at l10n build.

I will change 「OOO_VENDOR」 in ja translation to \" OOO_VENDOR \" with Pootle.

Reassigned to yuko

Changed with Pootle as follows. I hope that this change will fix this issue.

=== ./svx/source/intro.po
61,62c61,63
< "Copyright 2000-2008 Sun Microsystems Inc.この製品は、OpenOffice.org "
< "を基盤として「OOO_VENDOR」が作成しました。OpenOffice.org はすべてのコミュニ
ティーメンバー、特に "
---
> "Copyright 2000-2008 Sun Microsystems Inc.\n"
> "この製品は、OpenOffice.org を基盤として \\\" OOO_VENDOR \\\" が作成しました。\n"
> "OpenOffice.org はすべてのコミュニティーメンバー、特に "

@yuko: I agree with your changes.

The mystery might goes: 

A resource compiler 'rsc -DOOO_VENDOR="xxx"' will invoke its preprocessor 
'rscpp -DOOO_VENDOR="xxx"' .
rscpp is capable of recognizing a token which will be substituted. 

The existing texts 
 "Copyright 2000-2008 ... を基盤として「OOO_VENDOR」が作成しました。..."

seems to be treated as, i.e. no substitution happens, 
 "Copyright 2000-2008 ... を基盤として「OOO_VENDOR」が作成しました。..."

The keyword OOO_VENDOR seems to be unfortunately a part of string 
literal sandwiched by double quotation marks. 


The revised texts 
 "Copyright 2000-2008 ... を基盤として \\\" OOO_VENDOR \\\" が作成しました。..."

would be treated as 
 "Copyright 2000-2008 ... を基盤として " OOO_VENDOR " が作成しました。..."

So, now the keyword 'OOO_VENDOR' turns into an identifier, which would 
be expectedly substituted following the command line parameter.
 "Copyright 2000-2008 ... を基盤として " "xxx" " が作成しました。..."

And then, the series of texts would be concatenated into one text. 
 "Copyright 2000-2008 ... を基盤として xxx が作成しました。..."

This is a branding issue. I got a request that this needs to be fixed in 3.0 as
a stopper bug from 
Japanese community, so I changed the priority to P2.

Also, zh_TW has the same problem, so I inform Beijin team this.


Hi Tora-san,
Thank you for the information. I understood the reason why OOO_VENDOR was not
replaced.

zh_TW has also been fixed in Pootle.

hi ... is it possible to replace \" just with ' ? Using ' causes usually less
problems

Fixes are delivered from Pootle.
