Not sure we need either this dialog box or any localization at all:
On other platforms, soffice -h outputs to stdout (or maybe stderr).
Given that adding command line arguments (what soffice -h educates
about) is presumably done mostly through some terminal, anyway, I'm not
sure there is any demand to display this help information in a dialog
instead of on stdout/err. I don't know what the current status of GUI
applications like soffice routinely printing to stdout/err is on current
Windows versions, so I don't know if this hack to use a dialog is still
needed. (The unopkg executable used to go to pains to be able to use
stdin/out/err even though it is a GUI application, wrapping unopkg.exe
in a unopkg.com that does the necessary console magic.)
As a long time Windows "Power User", I agree with this comment and also with
Tor's comments on the Bug report mentioned.
If a Windows user is knowledgeable enough to pass command line switches (in
my experience that would be 1% or less :) ) he expects the output of such
switches to be displayed as text on the terminal window (aka DOS box :) )
Otherwise any other Help that requires a GUI, l10n and formatting belongs in
the Help file
Just my 2 (non-dev) cents.
