Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Part_title tags in 5.1 help - what should l10n teams do?

Hi Lera and all,

Yes these have been my changes in order to reduce duplication of 
translations, which is what <embed> and <embedvar> is used for.

With that particular example, we had 'ImageMap' as regular text in all 
module main0102.xhp files, which meant that 'ImageMap' was being 
translated 4 or more times, as the help page title is 'ImageMap Editor'. 
So using <embedvar>, i eliminated having this duplication.

I dont see an issue that translators would need to place the translated 
word for ImageMap in the necessary position. Example in Russian:

"Редактор <variable id=\"imagemap_part_title\">Сенсорного 
изображения</variable>"
