Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Localizing "Community Edition" branding in LO71
The brand string is part of the images. Could be done for the SVG, in theory, but not in case of the splash screen, which is and has to be raster graphics (PNG). Well, nothing is impossible in informatics but the effort should be balanced. But moreover it makes not much sense to translate brand names in general. "Gemeinschaftsversion" in German sounds totally weird. We had an eye on l10n while choosing the name so the term is kind of inter lingua, hopefully. And last but not least, this brand image is not used for any binary version built by TDF. It's just what we ship with the code.

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Localizing "Community Edition" branding in LO71
Well, Heiko, there is nothing "interlingua" about "Community Edition" ... We will have to find a way around it.

[libreoffice-l10n] Translation of acronyms
Hi, I think that most languages that use the Latin alphabet, follow the rule for all IT related acronyms should always ... (a) Be kept in the original English language as in most of the technical published literature, acronyms are written in uppercase. (b) The word BASIC is a good example. It is the name of a programming language and stands for *B*eginners *A*ll-purpose *S*tandard *I*nstruction *C*ode. (c) If one saves the translation as BASIC it also causes the extra frustration, that it is flagged as "Unchanged", which means that you have to reset it and then save it. This applies to all acronyms. (d) Another issue why BASIC, in particular, is an important example: BASIC = programming language and basic (lowercase) means "not complicated". See the ambiguity?
