Background: In the past, LibreOffice source code had many comments written in German, and to help developers around the world who do not know German to understand the code, those comments were translated to English, in tdf#39468: Bug 39468 - translate German comments, removing redundant ones https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39468 Description: The task here is to find and translate variables and constant with German names to English. This renaming is a kind of refactoring, and should be done in a way that does not affect the code behavior. Therefore, you should also change any occurrence of the variable in the code. For this purpose, you may use IDE capabilities or tools like 'grep'. These IDs are also used for bookmark references in the help contents. You have to also rename them inside help contents to make sure that the help bookmarks remain valid. Examples: This is an example change, which can show you what to do: sc: translate German name in variable https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/180902 If you look into sc/inc/helpids.h, you may find many other instances that need translation. The task here is not limited to this file, but this specific file is a good starting point. It is important to know that the above IDs are also referred in help contents, as described here: Help File XML format Basics > Defining Index, Contents, and Context Sensitivity > "hid" Branch https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Understanding,_Authoring_and_Editing_Openoffice.org_Help/2#%22hid%22_Branch Therefore, you should also do grepping inside help contents. For example: $ git grep SC_HID_FUNC_WAHL sc/inc/helpids.h:inline constexpr OUString HID_FUNC_WAHL = u"SC_HID_FUNC_WAHL"_ustr; $ cd helpcontent2/ $ git grep SC_HID_FUNC_WAHL source/text/scalc/01/04060109.xhp:<bookmark branch="hid/SC_HID_FUNC_WAHL" id="bm_id3153947" localize="false"/> You should also change the ID(s) in helpcontent2/ folder accordingly. Notes: Please do not change unrelated files, like language files related to German support. The focus here is the C++ code.

The help patch should be merged at the same time as the core patch.
