Comparison of English and German paste strings in a test toolbar

The German localization of paste commands are too short compared to the English strings:
* Paste Only Text > Nur Text
* Paste Only Formula > Nur Formeln
* Paste Only Numbers > Nur Zahlen

I suggest to add "einfügen" behind every German string.

Reasons:
* Commands should follow the Noun-Verb form.
* It's hard to find out what these commands are doing when finding them in the "Customize..." dialog in their current localization.


PS: Thanks for your localization work!

Suggested in Pootle. If there are more of this sort, I am happy to read about.

Thank you, Sophia! I didn't find new commands that fits into this bug report.

But in bug 112826 "Self-explanatory or distinguishable names for commands in the Customize dialog's functions list" I collected English and German command names that are (near-)identical.

Sophia, was your suggestion rejected? (Do you have a link?)

In LO 6.0.0.3 I don't see any change compared to older versions.
Comment 4 Sophia Schroeder 2018-02-06 10:19:39 UTC
Just had a look. My suggestions were rejected and an explanation was added by C. Kühl:  [C] Bearbeiten > Einfügen > Nur Text (deshalb "paste" nicht mit übersetzt).

It's several years since I worked with Pootle. I didn't find any help to comment a translation suggestion. Do I have permissions to comment or describe a suggestion? I want to add some points that are mentioned in this bug report to justify the suggestion.
