Description Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2014-06-24 18:59:47 UTC
I have already posted this to the l10n mailing list < http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/msg07875.html > and sophi suggested i put a bug report CCing Timar.

-- text from mailing list --

I came across the tooltip 'Nonprinting Characters' in Writer and i think it should be changes to 'Non-printing Characters' or 'Non-printable Characters', as nonprinting is not a valid english word, even in libreoffice's spellcheck. :)

Also came across the tooltip 'AutoSpellcheck' and think it should be changed to 'Auto Spellcheck' or 'Automatic Spellcheck'.

I'm mentioning this in the mailing list as i didnt see any means to make suggestions for english (US) in the translation website.

----------------------------

As a comparison here is how other office suites have nonprinting chracters
Word 2013 : Show/Hide ¶ - Show paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols
Kingsoft Writer : Show/Hide Editing Marks

Tom Davies suggested using 'spell-check' over 'spellcheck' and according to the dictionary, that would be more accurate, but i think an even better suggestion would be 'Automatically Check Spelling' or 'Automatic Spell Checking'

Remember to add any string change like these to this wiki page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/RecentStringChanges

That way you will lessen documentation maintainers’ burden when keeping up with these changes ;-)
