Re: [tdf-discuss] Re: Name Change for LibreOffice Applications

I think it's good to change the names of the Applications so that they
describe what each application does. LibreOffice is the brand which
will be known and names of the applications should help to find the
application you want to use. I would also suggest to translate the
names of the applications like Google Docs does.
So we could have:
Text
Table
Presentation
Drawing
Formula

and the German translation for example would be:
Text
Tabelle
Präsentation
Zeichnung
Formel

How about this? Should we better use plural forms?
