Description Ming Hua 2020-06-07 10:12:54 UTC 
The Navigator in the sidebar shows a list of different objects with labels and mouse-over tooltips, e.g. "Headings" and "# Headings" respectively in Writer.  Currently these two pieces of text use the same string (KeyID TF3Q9 and context STR_CONTENT_TYPE_OUTLINE in the case of Headings, I'm not familiar enough with the code to locate the exact place it is used), and while OK in English, it causes inconvenience for translators of other languages.

In my case of Chinese, it's because we use "measure words" extensively (think "piece" in "a piece of bread"), and would want to put measure words in the translation of "# Headings".  With the current setup it's not possible.

I imagine languages with multiple plural forms would like to see this change as well, see bug #132932.
