Description Olivier Hallot 2014-12-01 09:26:30 UTC 
Invoking LibreOffice from the command line with option "--help" shows help only in english.

Step to reproduce: Open a command prompt and call "soffice.exe --help" for Windows or "soffice --help" for Linux.

Only the explanation needs translation, not the parameters.

The correct translation should be picked from prompt locale.

Current output:

--------------------8<-------------------

olivier@olivier-ntbk:~$ soffice --help

I think it has always been the case.
So set version to inherited from OOo.
