Infrastructure » Extensions

ticket #3265 (now closed) didn't solve anything here on my POV. I really don't understand that previous ticket answers :(
I've no knowledge of websites settings and behaviour, so the problem lies somewhere between chair an keyboard, but more detailed instructions would be very welcomed.

BTW, the Extension author help (last link in the extensions page About menu), pointing to: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/home/using-this-site-as-an-extension-maintainer/, says:

8< --------------------------
Translating your extension entries

You can translate extension entries, make sure to save in the default language (English) first. [...]
-------------------------- >8

As for my extensions, I clearly didn't do that. That's possibly where the problem lies. But this doesn't explain the "mixed-case" as stated in the #3265 ticket, though.

I'd emphasize that a non-English speaking author would (as I did) first write a description in his-her mother language and then (possibly) enter the description in English.

So I'd suggest to reverse the requirement: non-EN first, then EN. If this is the actual reason for the apparent dysfunctioning.

I had a look at the Maintainer how-to page (https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/home/using-this-site-as-an-extension-maintainer/)

First, the overall process is described based on the fact that the user is using EN as a primary language. One should find a prominent note at the top about the translation being possible and being described somewhere at the bottom ("Translating your extension entries" chapter).

Second, the said "Translating your extension entries" chapter refers to some "purple icons". Though my eyesight remains quite good :) I had a hard time finding those icons on screen. Could they be made more visible in the pages and in the help as well?
