Created attachment 80682
--> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=80682&action=edit
ABOUT_STR_COPYRIGHT in all languages
The document contains the translation of ABOUT_STR_COPYRIGHT in all languages
as available on the AOO340 branch.
Spreadsheet "Released" contains only languages released in 3.4.1 (27 + en-US).
The question still open is weather to mark "Copyright © %YEAR% Apache Software
Foundation." as a string that should not be translated at all.

--- Comment #9 from Rob Weir <ro...@apache.org> ---
Possible issue with updating it at build time. It is a date, but it is also
stating an owner. The date should reflect the date of when the creative work
was made. And the owner should reflect who made the creative content.
So suppose we publish AOO 4.0 in 2013. It is correct that it says "Copyright
2013, The Apache Software Foundation".
But then suppose someone downloads the source code, and rebuilds it in 2014.
Several scenarios:
1) They make no changes, but just rebuild it. Since there is no creative
change, the copyright should remain 2013. It is like when you just reprint a
book. The copyright doesn't change. But if you make a new edition, i.e.,
content changes, then you change the copyright.
2) What if a 3rd party does make changes? The date can change, but the owner
does as well. So it should say something like "Copyright Foobar Corporation
2014, portion copyright The Apache Software Foundation", or something like
that.
Note: the copyright statement should not be translated. This is per US
regulations:
http://www.copyright.gov/title37/202.html See: § 202.2 (a)(4)
Since the ASF is US-based we should follow those rules.

I can take the latest comment form Rob into account and can make the copyright

Can the year be set at build time?
The only thing I can imagine right now, is setting a variable in set_soenv.in
my $build_year = (localtime)[5] + 1900;
ToFile( "BUILD_YEAR", "$build_year", "e" );

Adding Jürgen on CC
@jsc: this will trigger a translation update because the string is marked as
translatable; beside, there have been other suggestions about modifying the
string contents on the mailing list.

--- Comment #10 from jsc@apache.org ---
@Ariel, I am already working on it...
I currently set a define i the makefile -> date -"%Y" and use it in the source.
I split the string in several parts.
1. "Copyright © 2013 Apache Software Foundation.
All rights reserved."
not translated and the year is set based on the define or if no define to 2013
to ensure a date
2. depending OOOVENDOR
2.1 if OOVENDOR is not Apache Software Foundation
"This product was created by %OOOVENDOR, based on Apache OpenOffice."
2.2.
"This product was created by the OpenOffice community."
3. "The OpenOffice commnity acknowledges all contributing members, especially
those mentioned at"
My plan was to prepare screen shots with both and go back on the mailing list.

--- Comment #16 from jsc@apache.org ---
I have split the string to get more flexibility. The general copyright
statement is removed from the translation and will be set in dependency of the
OOOVENDOR variable. If the vendor is not the ASF, we add a portion copyright
statement to the ASF additionally.
I change the translation string also to use some other wording. A little bit
more space between the section is also used.
