Hi.
the .src sources relatively often contain a text line:
text [x-comment] = "..."
most times the ... is empty, but it also contains english text, and in one
case a multibyte charecter text.
Hi Jan,
I do not know the answer but would like to make a guess:
the x-comment "language" is used to annotate the actual string with a
message from developer to translator.
My guess is based on some very hazy memory and by looking at files like
officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Embedding.xcu
Lines 27 to 31 for example look like this:
<node oor:*name=*"Verbs">
<node oor:*name=*"PRIMARY" oor:*op=*"replace">
<prop oor:*name=*"VerbUIName">
<value>Primary</value>
<value xml:*lang=*"x-comment">Is not shown in UI. No translation is
required.</value>
</prop>
If I am right then today you would write this like this:
<node oor:*name=*"Verbs">
<node oor:*name=*"PRIMARY" oor:*op=*"replace">
<prop oor:*name=*"VerbUIName" oor:localized="false">
<value>Primary</value>
</prop>
Note the additional
oor:localized="false"
in the <prop> tag.
But again, this is only a guess, not a fact.

We have no language "x-comment", and it is currently not extracted, however
there are a couple of places in the code noting it is automatically loaded.
So my questions are:
1) Is this leftovers from and older version, and no longer used ?
2) if not, how is it used ?
3) if not, should it be translated (if it can appear in the ui it should be
translated) ?
thanks in advance for your help
Jan I.
