DO NOT REPLY [Bug 118641] New: Add an option to use English names
for Greek characters on Math
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118641
Bug #: 118641
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Add an option to use English names for Greek
characters on Math
Classification: Application
Product: Formula editor
Version: OOo 3.3
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ui
AssignedTo: mru@openoffice.org
ReportedBy: rgb.mldc@gmail.com
CC: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
I'm aware of issue 61585 which was closed as "wontfix", but I think that an
*option* (I'm not asking to drop the localizations, just to have an option to
turn them off) to use English names for Greek characters on Math expressions
will be useful, specially for those coming from LaTeX.
People with academic backgrounds will be used to LaTeX syntax so for many
people the translated names are "non intuitive".

getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity".
For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.

As maintainer of the Math Guide (both ODFA and the wiki) I am very aware of
this problem. (See the big fat warning I posted in the wiki version:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Reference/Math_commands#Characters_.E2.80.93_Greek
What would be really nice is if the localizations could be done by "insert"
rather than "replace", so that the English names would still be there silently.
Any conflicts could be handled by inserting the l10n strings "first" in some
sense, possibly disabling one or two English names.
