* l10n (Sophie)
        + gave feedback to Olivier on reformat patches – cosmetics changes
          not ideal for our l10n volunteers
        + better to also have actual help content changes alongside

I am with you. Please see my minor cosmetical changes as they are intented:
A ground work for further improvements and easier work with the help files themselves. And it is planned as a "Long Term Project" to not flood translators with minor changes at once.

Let me explain it in one phrase as an example:

"Press the Enter key." - In this form, the plain text will be displayed to our user.

But hey, we have also at least two other forms of this sentence:

"Press the <emph>Enter</emph> key.", which will display the word "Enter" in bold.

And there is "Press the <item type="keycode">Enter</item> key.", which behaves like the second case for now.

But in the end, the last one let us play with more possibilities in css styles, no? (I am not sure, just speculating).
I am thinking about an underlying background of a key, for example.

And yes, I am experimenting a bit here and there to find out best solutions and practices.

So yes, carefull reviewings and criticisms are very welcome.

And things like "<emph>Print </emph>icon" - l only say kerning and spacing in the resulting text.

I would like to extend/expand help textes by the way, while also reducing translation work by using the embedding feature instead of translating the same sentence several times again, but honestly, I have no clue how that works.

I also changed my workflow to work file for file, hope that helps, at least in my case for merge conflicts I cannot solve online, but also for reviewing.

Regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen
