I have a few more doubts that came up while reviewing the details. I hope someone can help.
Calc function names are translated, Basic function names are not. More comments below, but you should take this as a guideline.
File: helpcontent2/source/text/sbasic/shared.po Localizations: 03020405.xhp#par_id3150361.30.help.text Position markers MsgBox FileAttr(#iNumber, 1 ),0,"Access mode" Can #iNumber be translated to #Númeroi? File: helpcontent2/source/text/sbasic/shared.po Localizations: 03080301.xhp#par_id3145315.4.help.text Randomize [Number] Is Randomize [Number] a function? Can it be translated to Tornar aleatório [Número] (or TornarAleatório [Número])? Maybe the translation that was made from Rand() to Aleatório()should be preserved here? File: helpcontent2/source/text/sbasic/shared.po Localizations: 03101120.xhp#tit.help.text DefErr Statement [Runtime] Can DefErr Statement [Runtime] be translated to Instrução DefErr [EmExecução]?
All of these are from Basic (see "sbasic" in the file name). So, no translation of the function name. If you wish, you probably can translate the parameters, like "Number" or "Runtime", that are probably placeholders, but it doesn't harm to leave them in English.
Some XML tags have a text translated, which Pootle marks as error. What should I do here, keep the original or keep the translation? Ex: <node id="020202" title="Toolbars">, translated to <node id="020202" title="Barras de ferramentas">
It is OK to translate them as long as this convention is followed throughout your Help files.
I also mark every change I make in Pootle with a comment: "Changed". Is this enough for future AOO releases to include the changes or should I post a comment in the corresponding issue (Bz 121816) and change it's status?
You should open a new issue like "Translation update for Portuguese (pt) post-4.0", and assign it to jsc. There you should mention if after 4.0 (including the last days before release, when the pt translation had already been downloaded) you changed in Pootle the pt strings for the UI, the Help or both.
