Terminology in svtools | was: Fwd: [libreoffice-documentation] Re: [] Unit #126485942 (de)

Hi

Can some of the developers shed some light in this terminology?

The word "inverse" is not clear in the context for translators.

The file is svtools/source/dialogs/so3res.src :

          ERRCODE_SO_MK_REDUCED_TO_SELF&S_MAX ; >;
        < "The connection name has no inverse." ;

Thanks

Olivier
