Re: [libreoffice-l10n] How does one find specific strings in the po files?

Thanks, Andras

You said in the bug page (below): It happens when you use LibreOffice in other language than
your system locale. 
I always have that situation, and probably most Esperanto speakers would have another language that 
they use.

I don't understand what you mean by "select the KeyID language...". I don't know what po-file the 
strings mentioned are in, so I don't know the KeyID. In the drop down list of the search field in 
Pootle there is an option "Locations". Is that where to put (a) known KeyID(s)?

On the matter of searching for a particular string, I found that searching for "Open..." is 
problematic because the search program trims the dots off and one cannot specify entire words only, 
so I got openoffice, OpenGL etc - too many hits. Where is the place to propose an enhancement of 
this type? Do you think that it would be useful?

Regards
Donald
