Brochure suggestions 5/22: Error in German help text

Desktop editors

Hello,
This is a part of my Post Experience and suggestions with creating a brochure - #2 by Nikolas where I collected my expieriences with Only Office. I was bidden to split my suggestions in single pieces. So here you go:

Hindrances:

  1. German help text for keyboard shortcuts (hot keys): Repeat CTRL+J must be CTRL+Y

Thank you :slight_smile:
I’ll let you know as soon as the changes are implemented or if there are any further questions.

Hey @ToxyLT
We have registered your suggestion to add the ability to use different hotkeys for different interface languages!

Sorry, that was not my suggestion.
There is no other key in German for “redo”. It’s the same as in any other language and any other program: ctrl+z=undo, ctrl+y=redo. The use of ctrl+j is an error in the german translation of the help text (perhaps because in other contexts “y” stands for “yes” and in this cases the german translation would be “ja”).
Please just change the “J” to “Y” in the German help text.

Understood :ok_hand:

We’ll update the keys on the page KeyboardShortcuts.aspx soon.
Thanks! :heart_hands:

Two years later I visited my 22 reports of bugs and suggestions and I must say that I’m quite disappointed because none of them are worked on - not even this simple translation error. It doesn’t help that they are put to some bugs- or suggestions lists and are then left there to be forgotten.
I appreciate that every question got an answer but in the end that alone does not help.
Nonetheless I thank you for your effort to all the rest of onlyoffice.
Best regards
Martin

Hello @ToxyLT

We appreciate your interest. Indeed, the translation seems to be left behind, but actually due to migration from one platform to another, this issue has appeared again. We will address this inconsistency right away.

German online help text Tastenkombinationen has the correct translation (ctrl+Y for redo), but the help text in new Desktop Editor 9.3 is still wrong:

Wiederholen STRG+J Die zuletzt durchgefĂĽhrte Aktion wird wiederholt.

Thanks for the reply. Do you refer to the program interface guide available by F1?

Hi Constantine, yes exactly F1

Thanks for the reply. I will forward this information to writers too.
