translation source

Hi,

Translations i should be based on english, right?
for some reason however i often see strings that are different in
english than in any other language..
For example, what are the purposes of these dots in english version
here on the screenshot:
https://pasteboard.co/IVKvLZL.png
Should i include the dots (␠␠ when i copy-paste) into my translation?
(German and French both have 100% complete status for specific
project. Being identical to eachother but differ from English)

Regards,
Taavi

In looking at https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committee/openoffice it looks like your DiGro GitHub username is mapped. You should have write access as a committer. You should show as a member of the Apache-openoffice group. There may be an infrastructure issue.

Andrea,

I found the way to do it.

However, my latest PR, called LATEST, contains 3 files that shouldn't be 
there.

Two are about .gitattributes (I added the file but later forgot about it 
and encountered it after I made the PR. Then deleted the file, which is 
the second .gitattribute commit.)

Last commit concerns a resolved conflict.

Therefore only the commits with "Removed whitespace" should be pushed to 
trunk.

Don't know if that is possible though.

Andrea,

thanks, I will read more on the workflow to avoid this issue from 
happening again.

Seems I went to fast. My apologies for that

No that is not the issue. It is supposed to be that way. The way PRs 
work is this one:
- You create what Github calls a "fork" (your personal copy)
- You commit and push stuff to your fork, usually in a dedicated branch
- When everything is ready, you submit your commits (all of them and not 
each of them separately, like you did) as a PR for the "upstream" 
repository, i.e., apache/openoffice

No, please don't. If I find some time to explain in practice how to do 
it, I'll combine your PRs and explain, so that everyone doing this in 
the future can have a reference.

   Andrea.

OK, I think I messed up big time.

I think I made the changes on Apache/OpenOffice, not in DiGro/OpenOffice.

Is it possible to safely remove my PR's ?

Or should I close them all.

You don't need to merge the PR. You need write access to YOUR so-called 
(as Github calls it) "fork" of OpenOffice, i.e., this one 
https://github.com/DiGro/openoffice and of course you do have write 
access to it.

I meant "merge" in the sense of "putting together" (even though one of 
the options is to do it through git merge). See it this way if it helps 
to get you started: a PR is not a commit; a PR is a SET of commits; so 
you should make one PR out of the set of all 40 commits you did. This 
means the branch lives (as the 40 new ones you created) in YOUR 
repository and the PR contains all changes.

> Regarding " and ideally removing the end-of-file newline differences"

See here for example:
https://github.com/apache/openoffice/pull/63/commits/c544122805251db07510445167f9195d0a5a6d2c
If you scroll to the very last line, you will see what I mean. This is 
often an editor setting or a local git configuration.

> I haven't touched the end of the files, most changes are in the

The editor did it for you. You need to configure your editor to respect 
the conventions in use. The way to do this is of course dependent on the 
editor.

> I did notice a red mark in some files at the end though, but don't know

Indeed this is what I mean.

Andrea,

thanks for the feedback.

However, I'm not that a technician with GitHub and I don't have write 
access.

I've looked into the Help of GitHub to learn about merging PR's, but 
learned that you should have write access, which I haven't.

When I make a PR I'don't have an option to merge it with older/newer 
ones (I think, at least I don't see it anywhere)


Regarding " and ideally removing the end-of-file newline differences"  
I'm not sure what you mean by that.

I haven't touched the end of the files, most changes are in the 
beginning of files.

I did notice a red mark in some files at the end though, but don't know 
what they mean

Can you tell me how to  fix it ?

This is great, but can you please consolidate the numerous PRs into one 
(or one per day)? We had only 32 PRs on Github so far and you added 40 
more, which makes the review process more complex.

If you can create a new branch including all your PRs (and ideally 
removing the end-of-file newline differences) this would be much more 
convenient. All redundant PRs will be automatically closed once the "big 
one" is merged, so no need to modify them.

Of course, keeping all individual commits is absolutely fine. I'm just 
asking to have all of them in one PR; either git merge or git 
cherry-pick will work well for this.

   Andrea.

Hello Taavi,

you mean (white)spaces marked with dots?

You can leave them out.

We should remove them from the English cde too,

In the code there are many many whitespaces, so we need help and it
takes time.

Kind regards
