Description naoyuki 2009-07-08 06:57:49 UTC

In Writer, the inserted 'Note' by Insert->Note shows the author name in it.
The order of First and Last names is fixed, but it needs to be dependent on
user's locale.
In zh_CN, zh_TW, ja, ko locales, it should be Last name First name order.
Please refer to issue 103200 related to this.

Not only Writer/Note, there are several places need to be modified to conform
locale dependent Last/First name order.
Here is the list from redflagzhulihua@openoffice.org.

File-Properties
File-Versions
Edit-Changes
Insert-Fields-Author
Insert-Fields-Other-Document-Author-Name
Insert-Note

IMHO, this is not a good idea because some people (especially those who work
internationally) may enter their names in Roman letters while they are using OOo
with Japanese locale. In this case, users in Japan usually anticipate the same
order as English. As there are many different conventions in the way to write
their name and name order depends on not only the language you use but also the
country, the region and even the context, it should be selectable.

Not for 3.2 anymore

Comment 4 redflagzhulihua 2010-03-03 09:21:55 UTC

I think this issue should be handled as soon as i103200 closed. Is there any
plan for this? or is it on the road?
Thanks.
