Description Martin Srebotnjak 2020-06-15 10:09:57 UTC
Description:
Since LO64 some documentation team members updating/writing help content have started programming help contents - by splitting existing help strings (adding xml code - to display only parts of that string as tips).
That might work for those particular English strings, but does not work for Slovenian and probably many other languages.
So please stop this immediately and return all those strings back and duplicate sentence parts as separate strings available for l10n!
Example:
<emph>Low</emph>: 7% of codewords can be restored.
became
<emph>Low</emph>: <ahelp hid=".">7% of codewords can be restored.</ahelp>
In Slovenian:
<emph>Nizka</emph>: obnoviti je mogoče 7 % kodiranega besedila.
cannot be localized into 
<emph>Nizka</emph>: <ahelp hid=".">obnoviti je mogoče 7 % kodiranega besedila.</ahelp>
because a new sentence must start with a capital letter, correct would be:
<ahelp hid=".">Obnoviti je mogoče 7 % kodiranega besedila.</ahelp>
But in the combination with "<emph>Nizka</emph>:" it should start with a small letter.
So this is not localizable into Slovenian anymore.

Please start addressing the needs of non-English languages and stop "programming" help strings.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO and use tooltips.
2.
3.

Actual Results:
As explained above.

Expected Results:
As explained above.


Reproducible: Always
