2009-08-13 String Review by Liz
A string review of the English text has been made by Liz - thanks a lot! Additional proposals have been added to improve the meaning of several string. The current intermediate result has to be reviewed again. Until then, there won't be any updated mockup for "Current Design Mockup".
Discussion
Source | Current Status | Proposal | Questions and Replies |
---|---|---|---|
Liz | Kept | Proposal (optional) to change "Printer Details" to "Details" |
|
Liz | Undecided | The sub-group name "Thereof print" seems to be an issue because of the mixture of nouns and verbs. Liz proposed "Withing the print range, print:". |
|
Liz | Accepted | Proposal to change "Print Page Preview" to "Preview" |
|
Liz | Undecided | Proposal to change the group name "Print", since it is inconsistent with the rest of the dialog (verb vs. nouns). And it seems to be ambigious. |
|
Liz | Accepted | Proposal to change button caption "Print to file..." to "Print to File...". |
|
Liz | Undecided | Proposal to remove "right pages / left pages" from "Include, because it won't work for RTL text direction. |
|
Christoph | New | Change "Add blank pages for page breaks" to "Add blank pages for page breaks automatically". From my point it isn't clear that only some page breaks are affected. Originally I had something like "for certain page breaks" which isn't clear enough. |
|
Christoph, Jörg | New | Writer: Added/changed drop-down entries for Notes, since there was no proposal yet. The current proposals for "Notes" are:
|
|
Regina, Christoph | New | Changed "Distribute on multiple pages" to "Distribute on multiple sheets", since we may better refer to "sheets" when thinking of physical paper sheets. A similar naming has been used on the "Page Layout" tab page. Unfortunately, this is different to the currently used string and also difficult to understand with regard to Calc (worksheet vs. paper sheet). And, in Impress there also is "Slides per page" for the handout printing. Personally, I'm fine with "...multiple pages" here, since we won't be able to provide a clean solution. Discussion on main printerpullpages talk page. |
|
Regina | New | Draw/Impress: Changed "Size: Tile pages" to "Size: Tile slides" for Impress. This has been a mistake. |
|
Christoph | New | Writer: Changed option "Graphics and diagrams" to "Pictures and drawings". "Pictures" improves consistency, the former "diagrams" has simply been wrong. |
|
Mockup
The reviewed mockup including Liz' comments and additional markups to highlight the comments. Sorry for the quality, since I changed to a JPG to reduce its size.

Regina 15:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC) | Undecided | On Writer, Tab "Options" there is the checkbox "Reverse page order". It should be "Reverse paper sheet order". Reasons: The option is needed for manual duplex printing and is not only applied to normal print but also to brochure printing. In the latter case one paper sheet carries pages from start and from the end of the document and you do not want to alter this order, but the order of the paper sheet stack. For example, you print the front of the paper sheets with pages 16/1 14/3 12/5 10/7 with face down. Then the top empty back sheet it that with 10/7. Thereon the pages 8/9 must be printed, but normal print order would print pages 2/15 next. Therefore you must reverse the paper sheet order either for the front print or for the back print. | @Regina: Currently the name states what it does - it only reverses the sheet order. If this is not desired, then the "logic" has to be changed to match the expectations. Let's ask PL... |
Regina 15:15, 25 August 2009 (UTC) | Kept | The module specific tab has the title "Openoffice.org Calc", for example. I see no reason to put "Openoffice.org" in that place. I thought that the whole dialog is that dialog, which is independent of the operating system and depends only on the vendor. Therefore I would expect "OpenOffice.org" or "StarSuite" for example in the title bar of the whole dialog to distinguish the dialog from dialogs provided by the operating system. | @Regina: The reason for that name is given on the printerpullpages main wiki page. We did go for that since the document type like "Presentation" could be misleading, so we went for the application name. There has been a decision some years ago to use the full name to better separate the applications (e.g. title bar, options dialog). An other alternative could be to use a generic name like "Document", but then the users may not notice the very different content among the applications. --ChristophNoack 16:42, 30 August 2009 (UTC) |
Regina 15:33, 25 August 2009 (UTC) | Accepted | On tab "Openoffice.org Impress" and "Openoffice.org Draw", section "Size". "Tile pages" is misleading because of the plural "pages". This feature repeats one slide/page on the paper sheet, if the slide/page is smaller than the paper sheet. The plural leads to the wrong assumption, the feature would do a kind of N-up, filling the paper sheet with slide/page 1,2,... till it is full. Proposal "For small slide/page tile paper sheet with repeated slide/page." or shorter "Tile paper sheet with repeated slide/page". In addition be careful to distinguish slide/page for Impress/Draw. | @Regina: Well observed :-) Thanks you! --ChristophNoack 16:42, 30 August 2009 (UTC) |
