Greetings All, Thanks for the assistance I applied the advice sent and got over the problem. I had to add one extra step to wake up Writer so that it would import the new translations, this seemed a little odd, I might be making the wrong cause-and-effect associations. For what its worth the following are the steps I step and the results I observed:
I looked below and did not see the translation for "~File": <myBuild>/.../officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/localize.sdf I checked below and _did_ see the translation for "~File": <myBuild>/.../officecfg/unxlngi6.pro/misc/merge/org/openoffice/Office/UI/GenericCommands.xcu I then did the cleanup step that Alberto prescribed on just the file: <myBuild>/.../officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/localize.sdf reran config, download, make and installed and ... no change. So I looked below and saw that it only contained en-US, so I added an am-ET entry for the "~File" translation under the ".uno:PickList" node: <myInstall>/.../share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/GenericCategories.xcu When I reran OpenOffice (via soffice -writer from the program directory) this seems to have awoken the translations and the menu toolbar then had the expected terms: http://yacob.org/OOo-20050815.png This was odd so I went back and removed the "~File" translation from the previous file under .../share/... , then relaunched Writer and the Amharic translations were still there. So I suppose just unix "touch"ing the file would have been enough to get Writer to import the new translations and it was using cache until then? thanks again, /Daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
