Sessions
LibreOffice supports different languages and language groups, including
those languages written from right to left: Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and
even N'ko and others.
It is somewhat of a tradition, once every few LOCons, for members of the
right-to-left LO online language-communities to describe the state of
LibreOffice' RTL language support, as perceived by users and QA
contributors rather than project developers.
This session will relate usage experiences of speakers of RTL languages;
survey significant changes since 2018; illustrate outstanding "pain
points" for RTL language users; and suggest avenues of development
effort for taking the support for these languages to the next level.
Some of LO's language communities are strong and well-established - but
others are struggling, despite a large potential user base: Inactive
users and little-to-no discussion and other activities.
This session tries to draw on the experience - and lack thereof - of the
online (Telegram) groups for RTL, Hebrew and Arabic, to offer some
suggestions about how the larger LO community, developers or the TDF
could help these struggling communities get back on their feet.
This talk will explain what "anonymizing" a document means, and argues
for the need to develop a document anonymization tool for bug reporters
and triagers.
