Missing hotkeys for 'OK' and 'Cancel' button of LibreOffice
Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2013-01-23 17:12:32 UTC 
This is a translation thing, the translations for the language need to include the desired hotkeys, i.e. translations/source/zh-CN/vcl/source/src.po
#: btntext.src#SV_BUTTONTEXT_OK.string.text
msgid "OK"
msgstr "确定"

a) Presumably this is with *every* OK/Cancel button right ?
b) I'm *guessing* this is zh-CN, right ?
c) What strings does e.g. gtk use here ?, I mean what do we want them to say ?

Did we ever have hotkeys for OK/Cancel in OpenOffice.org for zh-CN, as far as I can see the translations have never included any hotkeys there. So it seems to have been like that for a very long time ?

Yes for libreoffice

Yes, also reproduced on zh_TW, ja_JP, ko_KR and Indic locales.

If we want add the hotkeys to the button, please just add it like this 'xxx(O)', 'xxx(C)';

If we don't want add the hotkeys for OK/Cacel buttons(also including other buttons), please just remove the underline '_' from the localized button text as it make no senses for leaving the underline there.

attaching the screen-shot from gedit to compare.

Thanks,
Robert

Comment 6 Caolan McNamara 2013-01-24 17:53:41 UTC 
"please just remove the underline '_'" ah!, now I see the root of the problem. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=58f16ff09672f3e37156d0fc5e79e310b2c49c08 adds automnemonics to any un-mnemoniced OK/Cancel strings which is why it becomes a recent problem.
Comment 7 Caolan McNamara 2013-01-25 13:52:41 UTC 
So the problem is we're suggesting impossible short-cuts because we're adding mnemonics to the translation in a simplistic way. We have um-mnemonic-ed original strings because OK/Cancel are expected to be um-mnemonic-ed on windows. Under GNOME we try and mnemonic those, leading to the problem. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2013-January/044513.html

upstream I'll simply add additional strings one set to be mnemonic-ed and one set to be left un-mnemonic-ed and translators can pick their preferre mnemonic.

For RHEL-6, if I get the acks, I will simply work around it by patching our translations to have additional (~O) (~C) shortcut strings
Comment 13 Lijun Li 2013-10-29 07:33:35 UTC 
Verified it's fixed on libreoffice-4.0.4.2-9.el6 with latest rhel6.5 build.

Please see the attached screenshot.

Moving to VERIFIED.
